- Here is what people are saying about the match:
Ten Hag making his team by changing players and “system”. Garnacho 2-0.

Weghorst better when Rashford joins him upfront.

- Fulltime!!! Manchester United win their 6th away game of the Premier League season, as many as their total last season.
- Weghorst thought he made it three, but the linesman and subsequently VAR cut his celebration short.
- Goallll number two. Garnacho scores. Manchester United are two up
- Goal Marcus Rashford scores again. Erik ten Hag decision to move Luke Shaw back to left-back paying off as he got the assist.
- Ayling attempts a less-than-stellar over-head kick, which David de Gea comfortably saves.
Dalot! What a strike! It crashed the woodwork. The substitutions are starting to pay off for Manchester United, with Garnaho heavily involved in the goal.
- Manchester United make substitutions of their own, Lisandro Martinez and Alejandro Garnacho come on for Sancho and Malacia.
- The first substitution of the game Patrick Bamford comes off for new signing Georginio Rutter.
- Leeds already have four attempts this second-half to Manchester United's zero.
- Leeds are starting the second-half with so much purpose and fervor, making attempt after attempt on David de Gea's goal.
- Second-half is underway
- The big Dutchman had a rather quiet first-half.
Let me guess - why the hell did I sign Weghorst? #mufc #LEEMUN https://t.co/8LhkoSzlOX

- Halftime!!!
- Bruno Fernandes pounces on a lose ball and was close to scoring, but Meslier denied him his 100th league goal.
- Bruno Fernandes complains about everything.
- Leeds go close to scoring again. Manchester United are living dangerously here. Milestone man David de Gea and Captain Maguire combined to keep the game scoreless.
There have been just six touches inside the opposition box in the opening 30 minutes of Leeds vs. Man Utd:

◉ 4 - Leeds
◉ 2 - Man Utd
A midfield battle so far. ⚔️#LEEMUN
- Yellow carddddd. 2-1 Leeds, Weston McKenie puts the Peacocks ahead on the referee's naughty list. If they continue to remain goalless we would count scores some other way.
Maguire showing why he can't get in the team recently.....🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️#LEEMUN
— Dan Jones (@coachdanj80) February 12, 2023
- Harry Maguire was Maguire and Maldini in the space of 30 seconds. Carelessly gives the ball away, only to recover properly an win the ball back.
- Luke Ayling moving like Lord Varys's spies. He was genuinely trying to eavesdrop on Erik ten Hag's instructions.
Fred on a yellow so early in a game like this is a recipe for disaster #LEEMUN #MUFC
— Dingle (@keithdaly6) February 12, 2023
- While the game remains goalless we would keep a score line of the yellow cards. 1-1 now, Fred equalised for Manchester United after a blatant hack on Summerville.
- Junior Firpo gets the first yellow card of the game for a poorly timed tackle on Jadon Sancho. When you remember Firpo, Emerson, and Nelson Semedo were Barcelona fullbacks at some point.
- Leeds nearly went ahead, but thanks to a tackle by Malacia on young Summerville, the game remains goalless. Leeds are dominating these early exchanges.
- 400 Premier League appearances for David de Gea!!! Congratulations to Dave Saves.

- Junior Firpo replaces the injured Pascal Struijk from the team that drew against Manchester United in the middle of the week. Luis Sinistera is also replaced in the starting 11 by Crysencio Summerville.
- Jadon Sancho returns to the starting lineup for Manchester United for the first time in three months, while new signing Marcel Sabitzer starts for the second consecutive game. Captain Harry Maguire also returns to the starting lineup, and he would partner Luke Shaw in defence for the Red Devils.
