Manchester United vs Leeds LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction today

Man Utd add a fourth, and Fernandes gets his hat trick.

It’s a simple ball over the top, with the Portuguese attacker running in behind Leeds’ high line. Fernandes smashes the ball with his laces into the roof of the net, giving Meslier with absolutely no chance of saving the ball.

Game is good as over. But this could get worse for Leeds with half an hour remaining.

The home side have now doubled their advantage in the space of two minutes, and Leeds are shellshocked.

It’s Fernandes again, who makes the run from Pogba’s through ball, Fernandes sends Firpo the wrong way inside the box, before his shot creeps over the line, despite Ayling clearing the ball, but the ball was indeed over the line, and is given.

Three goals in about seven minutes!

Man Utd take the lead once more! An absolutely superb pass down the left hand channel by Pogba into the path of Greenwood, who sprints clear of Ayling, and Greenwood runs into the box and smashes a low drive into the far corner.

Superb goal.

Leeds equalise through Ayling, and what a rocket!

Two minutes into the second half, the ball falls to Ayling just inside the Man Utd half, he runs unopposed towards the home side’s goal and unleashes a thunderbolt of a shot that arrows into the corner of De Gea’s goal, giving the Spanish stopper with absolutely no chance.

That’ll feature in the goal of the month compilation at the end of August!

Second half kicks off.

Leeds have made one change at the break, with new signing Junior Firpo coming on for Rodrigo.

Half time at Old Trafford:

1-0 to the home side through a well-worked Bruno Fernandes goal.

A high intensity game that swung back and forth throughout the half. Neither side really controlled the game, with the ball spent ping ponging from one side to the other.

Fernandes’ goal was the product of a wonderful pass from Pogba, who nonchalantly chipped it into his path.

United could be another goal or two up, as they had the better chances, but Leeds also had opportunities to score, with the Rodrigo header being the main one.

Both managers will likely be happy with how their teams performed, but Solskjaer will be the happier of the two. The game is simmering nicely.

44 min: A chorus of ‘shoot’ when Pogba finds himself in a bit of space on the edge of the Leeds box, but he prefers to switch it side for James, who does shoot, but doesn’t get enough purchase on it.

42 min: Leeds have still performed decently in this first half, and pose a threat whilst attacking, but Man Utd just look capable of scoring every time they venture forward.

36 min: Leeds struggling a little at the minute, with the home side looking dangerous at every opportunity going forward.

Bielsa’s side need to see this out to half time, and regroup.

But Leeds are continuing to stream forward, as all Bielsa sides do.
