🔗 Share this article Matheus Cunha Finds the Net to Earn Man Utd a Draw at Leeds. Leeds United's Noah Okafor shields the ball from Manchester United's Leny Yoro in the Premier League battle at Elland Road. Match Summary Dominic Calvert-Lewin sees a early header come back off the post. Aaronson fires the hosts ahead with a low effort in the second period. Matheus Cunha levels just three minutes later. The Yorkshire side continue their longest Premier League undefeated streak since the turn of the century. The Red Devils' poor run of form continued at Elland Road, but manager the Portuguese tactician had his Brazilian forward to thank for the team not suffering even more damage against Leeds. The Everton loanee headed a first-half attempt against the woodwork for the confident home team before Brenden Aaronson finished superbly with a driven, 62nd-minute shot. At that stage, Amorim was in the firing line after his side had been held by struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford earlier in the week. Nevertheless, against a team who had two days less to recover, the forward restored parity three minutes after the opener when he latched onto a through ball from introduced the Dutchman and slid a shot underneath advancing home goalkeeper Lucas Perri. It was only the South American's fourth goal since his big-money summer move and came at a time when Amorim is without several key attacking players due to a combination of fitness issues and international duty. Not that you would expect the hosts to sympathise with that given their own lack of preparation time. Noah Okafor forced a full length save out of Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens with a audacious overhead kick, and visiting heads were in hands when the Slovenian striker, who is finding it hard to make an impression, turned his teammate's cut-back wide from close range. The goalscorer, who had a goal ruled out for offside much earlier in the match, also blasted against a post in the dying moments. The draw prolongs Leeds' unbeaten run to seven matches, their best such streak since 2001, and takes them eight points clear of the drop zone. For the Manchester United though, it was yet another opportunity to move into fourth spot, albeit only for a matter of hours, wasted. Manchester United Breakdown: The Manager's Side Misfire Again With the AFCON reaching its latter stages, Amorim could be understood for hoping the involved countries make a swift exit. Existing injuries to skipper Bruno Fernandes and England international Mason Mount only exacerbated the impact the absence of other attackers is having on Amorim's options. It's not that the missing pair are the solution to all of United's problems. After all, they were part of the side that experienced poor results earlier in the season. But without them, the boss has limited alternatives in attack. He evidently does not trust youngster Shea Lacey or the much more experienced Zirkzee, even though the Dutch forward delivered the assist for Cunha's equaliser almost instantly after his introduction as a replacement. That leaves the Brazilian, who has now scored a small tally in five games, and others playing out of their natural positions, alongside Sesko. On this evidence, the big-money frontman looks similar to previous underwhelming signings, lacking in confidence and assurance in front of goal. Sesko's failure to turn home the cross means it is now a long run without a goal for the new signing. Leeds United Breakdown: A Further Step Towards Safety After memorable victories in their previous home games, the arrival of their biggest rivals to Elland Road was a comparatively subdued affair. True, there were moments of typical atmosphere, but the intimidating edge was not as pronounced as in previous fixtures. The home fans were more preoccupied about their side's struggle to get sustained possession in advanced areas for any prolonged period. The Calvert-Lewin header that struck the post was an isolated moment of threat in a congested first half. It still felt as though Leeds were struggling when a defensive error opened the door for the opener. Ever so briefly, Leeds' ecstatic fans thought they were about to secure a rare win against Manchester United. However, there is a much bigger picture for Daniel Farke and Leeds to deal with. When they suffered a difficult run of form earlier in the campaign, many speculated about the manager's future. Instead, he is now overseeing clear improvement. The job is not completed yet but step by step, the team are getting closer to achieving their top-flight status. Looking Ahead Leeds have a Premier League trip to Newcastle in midweek, followed by the start of their FA Cup campaign next weekend. The Red Devils face a league trip to Turf Moor before also beginning their FA Cup journey with a Old Trafford tie.
