Manchester United 2-2 Leeds: Main Talking Points As Erik ten Hag’s Side Snatch A Thrilling Point At Old Trafford
In what was a hugely enjoyable affair from Old Trafford on Wednesday night, Manchester United mounted a stellar second-half flurry as they snatched a 2-2 draw against historic rivals Leeds.
Left stunned in the opening minute as Wilfried Gnonto powered home from the edge of the box, Erik ten Hag’s side faced what appeared to have been a real banana skin in midweek.
However, while the Premier League giants might have also been caught cold after returning from the half-time interval as Raphael Varane poked into his own net and handed Leeds a shock 2-0 lead, United certainly showed their trademark resolve.
With ten Hag’s second-half subs clearly making an immediate impact, goals from the red-hot Marcus Rashford and a returning Jadon Sancho dragged Wednesday’s hosts to a hard-earned point on home soil.
Although United might have seen their remarkable winning run at Old Trafford come to an abrupt end, Leeds would have traveled back to Yorkshire knowing that they missed out on the chance to lay down a heavyweight marker.
In a showdown that is rightfully billed as one of the Premier League’s most iconic rivalries, we have taken a look at the main talking points following Wednesday’s action-packed 2-2 draw.
