Manchester United’s 13-match winning run at Old Trafford came to an end after a pulsating 2-2 draw with Leeds United. The Red Devils fought back from two goals down to rescue a point, but they’ve now won just one of their last four games in the Premier League.
Erik ten Hag’s men had lost three of the four games they’ve played when midfield linchpin Casemiro was unavailable this term, and it didn’t take long for those vulnerabilities to be on show once more. The visitors stunned Old Trafford into silence by racing into the lead after just 55 seconds, with Patrick Bamford teeing up Wilfried Gnonto to drive past David De Gea at the Stretford End.

The pendulum had now completely swung, and less than 10 minutes after pulling one back, United were level. Second-half substitute Jadon Sancho scored for the first time since returning to the first-team fold, rifling home after being the first to react to a loose ball inside the area. A situation United have so often found themselves in down the years, a winning goal seemed inevitable, but Meslier had other ideas as he made a remarkable save to deny Varane a decisive goal.
Disappointment for the hosts, while Leeds created a one-point buffer between themselves and the drop zone in their first game under the temporary stewardship of Michael Skubala.
