Michael Skubala, Chris Armas and Paco Gallardo are in caretaker charge of Leeds following the dismissal of Marsch and the Whites got off to a dream start at Old Trafford as Willy Gnonto fired his side ahead after just 55 seconds. Leeds then lost both Luis Sinisterra and Pascal Struijk to injuries but took a 1-0 lead into the interval after a fantastic first-half display as Skubala called the orders from the touchline.
The Whites made another lightning start to the second half and doubled their advantage three minutes after the restart as substitute Crysencio Summerville’s cross from a tight angle deflected off Raphael Varane past David de Gea. The Red Devils then pulled a goal two minutes after the hour mark as Marcus Rashford beat Robin Koch to head home a Diogo Dalot cross.
Back came Leeds and a free-kick from substitute Brenden Aaronson crashed back off the post but the hosts drew level with 18 minutes left through Jadon Sancho who fired home through a crowded box.
Honours finished even and Graham Smyth, the YEP’s chief football writer, hands out the scores from a pulsating clash at Old Trafford.
