Leeds 0-2 Manchester United LIVE! Premier League result, match stream and latest updates today

Leeds vs Manchester United LIVE!

Late goals from Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho earned Manchester United a hard-fought 2-0 Premier League victory at Leeds on Sunday.

Chances were few and far between in a feisty first half between the Roses rivals, with Crysencio Summerville twice going close for Leeds and Bruno Fernandes wasting the visitors' best opportunity. Erik ten Hag's team continued to struggle to break down the dogged hosts until the in-form Rashford headed home his 21st goal of the season in all competitions to finally break the Leeds resistance in the 80th minute.

Gaps started to appear with the deadlock broken and substitute Garnacho took advantage to put the game to bed five minutes from time, racing clear before firing home.

With champions Manchester City in action later on Sunday, United leap-frogged their rivals into second place having played two games more. Leeds stayed 17th, one point above the relegation zone.

Harry Maguire’s reaction to Sky Sports

16:05 , Marc Mayo

“It’s been a good season up until now, lots of improvement needed and big games coming, but nice to come back into the team and get the win.

“We know coming to Elland Road is tough. We had to dig in, we had to focus. Credit to the lads that we stuck through it.

“After midweek, we knew today was about revenge and we got that.”

Big win for Man United

15:58 , Marc Mayo

They take second place ahead of Manchester City kicking off in half an hour.

Arsenal sit five points above them, with two games in hand.

Full time! Leeds 0-2 Manchester United

15:55 , Marc Mayo

Rashford and Garnacho do the damage for Man United!

GOA-NO!

15:53 , Marc Mayo

90+4 mins: Now Weghorst has his big moment denied, stabbing home a dropping ball from a corner from an offside position.

15:51 , Marc Mayo

90+2 mins: Elanga on for Rashford, the away end positively bouncing by the Man United dugout.

GOA-NO!

15:50 , Marc Mayo

90 mins: Rashford rockets home a smart finish across Meslier... and the flag goes up.

VAR wants a look, though with four mintues added on. Offside confirmed.

15:49 , Marc Mayo

89 mins: Huge handball appeals from the Leeds fans but Man United break and Garnacho’s close-range hit is nicely blocked.

Still time for more goals, here!

15:48 , Marc Mayo

88 mins: Some life in Leeds yet, mind Aaronson firing a shot that hits Weghorst and only just goes wide.

15:47 , Marc Mayo

86 mins: Well, two moments of real class from Man United look to have ended this as a contest.

McKennie replaced by Greenwood as Leeds look for some inspiration.

GGGOOOOAAALLLLL!!!!! Leeds 0-2 Manchester United

15:44 , Marc Mayo

84 mins: GARNACHO SETTLES IT!

The Argentine darts into the box and buries it via the near-post. Three points are heading back across the Pennines!

15:43 , Marc Mayo

82 mins: Well, Leeds were on course for a second decent draw in a week against Man United but, once again, a bigger points haul appears to have been lost by a late goal.

A massive task to grab a late equaliser.

GGGOGOOOOOAAALLLLL!!!!! Leeds 0-1 Man United

15:39 , Marc Mayo

79 mins: RASHFORD!

A cross from the left is buried by the in-form forward to break Leeds hearts.

But, the header is having a VAR check... ONSIDE!

Leeds chance!

15:38 , Marc Mayo

78 mins: Sloppy again from Man United as Shaw lays a pass too far behind Martinez and Summerville runs in behind, firing a low shot that De Gea denies with his feet!

15:37 , Marc Mayo

76 mins: Leeds look to be flagging a little, keeping an attack alive down the right wing but just without the edge to pick a pass into the box.

15:33 , Marc Mayo

73 mins: More subs as Wan-Bissaka replaces Dalot at right-back for Man United.

Aaronson on for Harrison, who has looked a threat for Leeds and gets a good ovation from the Elland Road faithful.

15:31 , Marc Mayo

71 mins: Not much out of the record signing Rutter so far, looks a little off the pace.

15:30 , Marc Mayo

69 mins: Ayling pulls off some acrobatics to send an overhead kick at De Gea from a corner.

A proper end-to-end sense about the game now, is an opening goal coming?

15:26 , Marc Mayo

66 mins: Back come Leeds and Gnonto, quiet so far, cuts inside to send an effort straight into De Gea’s midriff for an easy catch.

Man United chance!

15:23 , Marc Mayo

63 mins: OFF THE CROSSBAR!

Dalot fancies his luck from outside the box and a delightful effort cracks the woodwork, Meslier completely beaten.

15:21 , Marc Mayo

60 mins: Two changes with Malacia replaced by Martinez, surely allowing Shaw to move to the left-back position.

Sancho’s day is also over with Garnacho on.

15:20 , Marc Mayo

59 mins: Rashford not himself today and another loose touch ends Man United’s breakout from a pair of Leeds corners.

15:17 , Marc Mayo

57 mins: Leeds make their first change as Bamford is replaced by Rutter for the £35m signing’s home debut.

15:16 , Marc Mayo

55 mins: First good break from Man United and Rashford is released down the left, but he decides not to cross for Weghorst or lay off for Fred and ends up getting crunched in a clumsy Ayling challenge having already really lost the ball.

Muted appeals for a penalty are waved away and the attack ends.

15:14 , Marc Mayo

53 mins: Fernandes parks himself on the turf after coming off second best in an aerial tussle with Wober.

He took a bit of a hit in the face but doesn’t actually look too hurt as he waits for treatment. Nothing untoward in the scrap for the ball, this being a contact sport and all.

Leeds chance!

15:11 , Marc Mayo

51 mins: Ayling volleys a cleared free-kick goalwards from 20 yards out and Shaw turns it only a couple of inches wide of the post!

The pressure is piling on but De Gea punches the corner clear...

15:09 , Marc Mayo

49 mins: De Gea next to make an error and Bamford just fails to bring it under control to create a shooting chance.

Man United are all over the place!

15:09 , Marc Mayo

48 mins: A promising start from the hosts as Man United surrender possession too easily and Leeds work it to the right wing, Harrison getting on the end of the cross and flicking a shot comfortably wide.

Leeds chance!

15:07 , Marc Mayo

47 mins: Summerville takes up the ball 20 yards out, cuts to his right and draws a decent save out of De Gea with a powerful, low effort.

In comes the corner and McKennie heads over!

15:06 , Marc Mayo

46 mins: A start to the second half just as the first carried out, a foul being conceded before Man United sit on the ball in their own half.

Kick-off! Leeds 0-0 Manchester United

15:05 , Marc Mayo

The players are back out for the second half and away we go!

No changes from either side.

Will either manager go to their bench?

15:00 , Marc Mayo

It’s hard to see Michael Skubala changing much at the break but Erik ten Hag could not be blamed for glancing across his options.

It’s mainly youngsters with Facundo Pellistri, Anthony Elanga and Alejandro Garnacho on Man United’s bench.

First-half highlights

14:56 , Marc Mayo

Crysencio Summerville came close at the start and the end of the half in Leeds’ best moments.

Stats check

14:52 , Marc Mayo

A whopping 16 fouls in that first 45 minutes, 10 of which conceced by Man United - and yet Leeds lead 2-1 on yellow cards!

The visitors have boasted 70 per cent of possession but shots are even, 4-3 in Leeds’ favour and 2-2 for shots on target.

Neither side with a massive level of passing accuracy, at 71 and 83 per cent.

It’s all been a bit old school!

Half-time! Leeds 0-0 Man United

14:49 , Marc Mayo

All square after a fiery first half.

Man United chance!

14:47 , Marc Mayo

45+2 mins: Shaw’s corner hits Ayling and bounces just wide!

Rashford was almost there to turn it home...

Man United chance!

14:47 , Marc Mayo

45+1 mins: What a stop by Meslier!

Wober gifts possession to Fernandes and he runs through one-on-one... and is denied by the goalkeeper’s leg!

14:46 , Marc Mayo

45 mins: We will have three added minutes, just as Maguire absolutely decks Bamford and somehow escapes a booking.

Leeds chance!

14:45 , Marc Mayo

44 mins: Summerville gets the wrong side of Malacia and tries to chip a finish from a tight angle as Shaw pounces.

De Gea gets a hand to it and Man United crowd out the winger to survive!

14:43 , Marc Mayo

42 mins: Ayling furious at the linesman for coming out on the wrong side of a call for a corner/goal kick. Probably the right call, in all fairness.

14:40 , Marc Mayo

39 mins: Nervy moment for Leeds as Fernandes wins the ball high up the pitch and opts to hit the byline, only to take too heavy a touch and have to slide to cross in.

The hosts just about deal with it but Fernandes is back to shoot tamely at Meslier, which took a deflection.

McKennie scythed down Rashford off the ball and takes a booking.

14:37 , Marc Mayo

37 mins: A delay in the restart as Adams, who had fouled Malacia and took an accidental elbow in the mouth for his troubles, has to change his mildly bloodied shirt.

14:36 , Marc Mayo

35 mins: From zero to hero for Maguire!

Harrison catches the defender on the ball as he attempts a backpass but, in his box, he snatches a tackle in on the Leeds winger and the attack dies.

14:35 , Marc Mayo

34 mins: Sancho, now back on the right, lays Rashford the ball on the 18-yard line but Ayling does a fine job on the in-form winger to get the ball out of the danger zone.

The visitors just edging up the pressure in the last few moments.

14:32 , Marc Mayo

32 mins: Maguire has been a rock at the back on his return to the line-up, his first league away game since a 4-0 loss at Brentford last year.

Man United break and are smartly forced back into sitting on possession by the halfway line.

14:31 , Marc Mayo

30 mins: Sabitzer the latest player to concede a foul inside his own half, tripping Gnonto.

Leeds, whose fans have kept up their fantastic noise all game, fail to create an opening again however as the ball lands to Ayling and he shunts a cross into touch.

14:28 , Marc Mayo

27 mins: Ten Hag swaps Rashford and Sancho to different flanks but has Ayling eavesdropping on his touchline chat with Sancho, who knows what information he has gleaned there...

14:26 , Marc Mayo

25 mins: Constant fouls are breaking up the flow of the game and it’s not like the referee has been overly whistle-happy.

Harrison loads another deep free-kick into the box and Maguire clears, with help from Sancho.

14:22 , Marc Mayo

22 mins: Man United really focusing on Sancho’s right wing, even before Firpo was booked, and only get middling success.

Rashford has hardly had a kick.

14:21 , Marc Mayo

20 mins: All even in the bookings as Fred drags down Summerville’s tricky dart inside. Another easy call for Paul Tierney.

The free-kick is loaded in and Man United survive a bit of a scramble courtesy of Weghorst’s key intervention!

14:20 , Marc Mayo

19 mins: Maguire blocks off Bamford from trying to chase down De Gea’s kick clear, which draws a bit of a soft tumble from the Leeds forward.

Up the other end, Sancho lays off Fernandes in the right channel of the box and he drags a shot well, well wide.

14:18 , Marc Mayo

18 mins: Firpo looks stunned to have been booked for hacking Sancho from behind. He needn’t be.

14:18 , Marc Mayo

16 mins: A bit of a reversal in recent moments as its Leeds more patiently building up and Man United struggling to put together counter-attacks.

The hosts’ tails are certainly up.

14:14 , Marc Mayo

13 mins: Fernandes caught out before Fred trips Harrison to provide Leeds with a very decent free-kick spot, 30 yards out on the right flank.

Harrison tries to roll in a cute training ground routine but it falls at the first hurdle.

14:12 , Marc Mayo

11 mins: Man United holding the possession stat but all the intent is with the hosts, who are wasting no time trying to build attacks and are finding plenty of space to run into.

14:08 , Marc Mayo

8 mins: Man United’s first attack is played well to Sancho via Fred, Weghorst and Fernandes.

Firpo blocks the cross.

14:06 , Marc Mayo

6 mins: McKennie’s pass behind Summerville takes the edge off a Leeds counter and Malacia does brilliantly to win the ball.

In flies McKennie with a huge slide tackle and Paul Tierney has to stop play. Legal challenge but the defender smacked the ground head first and needs treatment.

He’ll be okay to play on, though.

Leeds chance!

14:04 , Marc Mayo

4 mins: Wober keeps a Leeds chance alive and De Gea parries his cross straight into the danger zone...

It lands for Summerville who fires over from eight yards! BIG CHANCE!

14:03 , Marc Mayo

3 mins: Adams throws in a chunky early challenge on Sancho, winning the ball and huge acclaim from the home fans. They like big tackles in Leeds.

14:02 , Marc Mayo

2 mins: Leeds putting the press on Man United’s players early on with the visitors looking to put a foot on the ball and calm it down early on.

Kick-off! Leeds vs Manchester United

14:00 , Marc Mayo

Luke Ayling delivers his final words in the Leeds huddle and a proper big-match atmosphere greets the referee’s whistle.

We’re underway at Elland Road!

Here come the players!

13:56 , Marc Mayo

‘Marching On Together’ gets its play out on the Elland Road tannoy and the two sets of players enter the pitch...

Kick-off: next!

A good start to the day for Man United

13:56 , Marc Mayo

Man United Women have just beaten Tottenham in the WSL!

Marcus Rashford previews how Man United will approach the game

13:52 , Marc Mayo

“They’re a team that plays with a lot of intensity, I think at the start of the first and second half at Old Trafford they surprised us and shocked us.

“We should have been better prepared and today we want to play some of our attacking football from the second half from the beginning.”

David De Gea out to cap milestone game with another one of these

13:48 , Marc Mayo

Illan Meslier gives the Leeds view ahead of kick-off

13:45 , Marc Mayo

“It’s very rare to play the same time twice in a week so it’s a second battle, we drew the first one and at home we want to beat them.

“We’ve analysed, drawn some conclusions from the first game so we’re ready.

“We want to start like how we started the last game so we’ll be ready to be aggressive from the beginning.”

Throwback: These two teams’ last meeting

13:39 , Marc Mayo

Cast your mind back all the way to... Wednesday!

Erik ten Hag explains his selection to MUTV

13:35 , Marc Mayo

“Rotation is one part of it, we have a lot of games to get through. The other part is also tactics.

“[Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw] know each other, they know the game, the rivalry. They have to protect it, so I expect leadership from them today.

“Jadon Sancho is in a good place, so he has to start. Rotation, of course, but he’s a magnificent player.”

Countdown to kick-off

13:30 , Marc Mayo

The warm-ups are underway at a chilly Elland Road with half an hour until we begin!

David De Gea reaches landmark

13:27 , Marc Mayo

He started as a nervy, skinny Spaniard fans feared as a flop and, via a dodgy fax machine, went on to become arguably the world’s top goalkeeper for a number of years.

Now he’s... somewhere in the middle, I suppose. And a Man United record-breaker.

Throwback: The Leeds glory days

13:22 , Marc Mayo

Look at that pitch!

Two changes for Leeds

13:17 , Marc Mayo

Injuries keep Pascal Struijk and Luis Sinisterra out of the Leeds team today, as Junior Firpo and Crysencio Summerville get a start.

Jadon Sancho starts

13:13 , Marc Mayo

For the first time since October 22, Jadon Sancho starts a game of football.

The winger replaces Alejandro Garnacho for the Red Devils with Erik ten Hag also rejigging his defence.

Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez are on the bench as Harry Maguire and Tyrell Malacia start, moving Luke Shaw to central defence.

Michael Skubala previews the game to Sky Sports

13:09 , Marc Mayo

“The team were great on Wednesday but we’ve got to go again today, we’ve got to start bright and lively.

“I think it’s going to be a really, really quick start to this game.

“Two changes due to injury but happy with the changes and the group.”

Countdown to kick-off

12:57 , Marc Mayo

Man United are in the house and team news is out any minute now!

Will Jadon Sancho get a start?

12:52 , Marc Mayo

Lots of eye on Man United’s midweek goalscorer as he looks for his first start since before the World Cup, during which he spent time away from the club to solve a mystery fitness issue.

Erik ten Hag said ahead of the game: “He's growing. He's definitely in a better place than two or three months ago. When he was away from the team, I think it was the right decision from him to do it.

“He worked hard on himself and now he is back. Now he has to find himself back in the team. That has to go step-by-step, now he's coming from the bench, so I hope he can make the next steps.”

Today’s destination

12:47 , Marc Mayo

A big atmosphere expected for this one, Leeds fans do not like Man United. It’s a bit of an old school derby, given the Whites’ years in the wilderness, but the rivalry has hardly died down!

The early scene outside Elland Road this afternoon...

Latest on Leeds managerial search

12:11 , George Flood

So what exactly is the latest state of play with regards to Leeds’ protracted managerial search?

If certain reports are to be believed, they have already been snubbed by THREE potential preferred candidates to succeed Jesse Marsch in West Brom’s Carlos Corberan, Rayo Vallecano boss Andoni Iraola and Feyenoord’s Arne Slot.

It is a critical time for Leeds in their battle against relegation and they surely cannot afford this hunt to drag on for too much longer.

Fresh speculation this weekend claims that Spaniard Iraola may yet be a potential option after all. The plot thickens...

Ten Hag hails ‘unbelievable’ Rashford form

11:54 , George Flood

Marcus Rashford has been singled out once again for special praise by manager Erik ten Hag after he continued his incredible goalscoring exploits against Leeds in midweek.

He hit the first goal in the comeback from 2-0 down at Old Trafford and now has 12 in just 14 matches since returning from the World Cup.

Rashford recently became the first United player since Dennis Viollet in 1959 to score in nine successive home games, only missing out on a new all-time club record after his goal against Reading in the FA Cup was chalked off.

Arguably no forward in Europe is in better form than the 25-year-old, who will be looking to further exploit Leeds’ defensive weaknesses at Elland Road this afternoon.

“Unbelievable focus in this moment,” Ten Hag said of Rashford this week. “He’s aware of it.

“If he is making the right movements that he or his team will bring him in the right position to score goals and then it’s about the score goals.

“In this moment he’s in such a flow. He brings it every game on the pitch.

“So, if he has that energy, those levels, he will score goals and the only thing what the team has to do is get him in that position.”

Leeds vs Manchester United prediction

11:42 , George Flood

After a big improvement from Leeds in midweek, taking Manchester United back to Elland Road should provide another entertaining, potentially fiery, affair.

A 2-2 draw again.

Manchester United team news

11:41 , George Flood

There are similar issues for Manchester United and Erik ten Hag.

Anthony Martial (hip), Antony (leg) and Scott McTominay (unspecified) are all still out for today and not expected back for the huge Europa League play-off round first-leg tie against Barcelona at Camp Nou on Thursday.

McTominay’s injury leaves Ten Hag short on midfielders with Casemiro still suspended and Christian Eriksen out until late April at the earliest due to an ankle problem.

Donny van de Beek will miss the rest of the season after knee surgery, though Aaron Wan-Bissaka could return today after illness.

Leeds team news

11:37 , George Flood

Leeds are contending with a number of injury concerns at present, with Colombian winger Luis Sinisterra fighting to be fit for today’s game after a knock that forced him off at Old Trafford along with captain Liam Cooper and midfielder Marc Roca.

Pascal Struijk remains sidelined with a concussion, while Rodrigo is expected to miss the next two months with an ankle injury sustained in the recent FA Cup win over Accrington Stanley.

Adam Forshaw, Stuart Dallas, Archie Gray and Sonny Perkins are also out.

Hello and welcome to the Evening Standard’s LIVE coverage of Leeds vs Manchester United in the Premier League.

Just days after their thrilling 2-2 draw at Old Trafford in which Erik ten Hag’s side battled back from two goals down to earn a point thanks to the efforts of Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho, these two old rivals square off for the second time at Elland Road this afternoon.

A win for the visitors would see them at least temporarily go up into second place before Manchester City host Aston Villa later, while managerless Leeds are desperate to increase their razor thin one-point cushion to the dreaded drop zone.

Michael Skubala is in temporary charge of the Whites once again here as they struggle to appoint a preferred successor to the sacked Jesse Marsch.

Kick-off in West Yorkshire is at 2pm GMT, so stay tuned for all the latest team news, build-up and live game updates!
