Manchester United once again let slip points this Sunday during their trip to Leeds, on the 20th day of the Premier League. After a closed first period and without any real opportunity, the two teams returned to the locker room with a goalless draw (0-0). Returning from the locker room, Leeds showed more offensive intentions and were rewarded by Aaronson’s opening goal in the 62nd minute.

The Mancunian reaction was not long in coming, however, since Matheus Cunha, summer recruit for the Red Devils, equalized three minutes later (65th). Despite a dominated end to the match and several interesting situations, Manchester United never managed to gain the upper hand to snatch victory. This new draw slows down the ambitions of the club, which remains 5th in the standings, while Leeds retains its 16th place in the Premier League.
