Leeds 2-4 Manchester United LIVE: Manchester United do the double over Leeds
Manchester United are now four points clear of fifth-placed West Ham after they overcome Leeds in a fiery goal-fest at Elland Road. Cristiano Ronaldo had a golden chance to open the scoring when he was picked out in the box by Paul Pogba, but Leeds goalkeeper Ilan Meslier denied him with a brilliant save from close range.
Bruno Fernandes then forced Meslier into another decent stop after more good work from Pogba, before Harry Maguire headed the visitors in front from the resulting corner. Ralf Rangnick’s side then went 2-0 up in first half stoppage time, when Jadon Sancho picked out Fernandes with an exquisite chip into the box, and the Portuguese playmaker headed home.
