Leeds United are set to square off against Manchester United for the 2nd time in 5 days at Elland Road.

They further shocked Manchester United by taking a 2-0 lead just after halftime after Raphael Varane put the ball in his net. Quickfire goals from Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho put the hosts back level. However, Leeds was able to hold out for the last 20 minutes earning a well-deserved draw. Manchester United had a chance to go level on points with Manchester City in 2nd place but failed to capitalize. The Reds have been dominant at Old Trafford and were favourites going into this game.

Leeds United did the unthinkable and shocked Manchester United by taking a 2-0 lead at Old Trafford on Wednesday however Manchester United showed great resilience by fighting their way back into the game and almost winning it. Manchester United on another day should have won the game after having some really good chances. It won’t be an easy game for Manchester United. Leeds will want to take their performance from Old Trafford and elevate it in front of their home fans however we believe that Manchester United will go in as favourites.
