Man Utd XI:
Senne Lammens: He produced a sharp save to keep Elvedi out and delivered a steady performance. 7
Leny Yoro: Faced a tough physical challenge despite starting at right‑back, thrown into deep water this season. 6
Harry Maguire: Mostly reliable; he won the early duel with Calvert‑Lewin but struggled more after the break. 7
Lisandro Martinez (off 46, Mazraoui): Stayed on after controversial remarks, cheered by United fans, booed at Leeds, performed adequately before being swapped at halftime. 6
Diogo Dalot: Another left‑back option who held his own, though the role isn’t his natural spot. 6
Andrey Santos: Worked hard, raising the question of why his minutes have been so limited before. 7
Carlos Baleba: Eager to receive the ball and drive forward; his link with Santos added spark. He tried a 25‑yard effort that missed. 7
Amad Diallo: His speed threatened the defence, yet the visitors failed to capitalize; a second‑half shot was blocked. 6
Youri Tielemans: Delivered a perfect cross for Mbeumo’s opener; he thrives with two midfielders supporting him. 7
Bruno Fernandes: He over‑hit a dangerous free‑kick that resulted in a throw‑in and earned a booking for a late tackle on Muharemovic. In my view, he seemed forced and out of sync. 6
Bryan Mbeumo: Started on the left inside, tried to link play though it isn’t his natural spot. He could have scored from a first‑half header and eventually did, but couldn’t hold off Calvert‑Lewin for the equaliser. 7
Subs:
Noussair Mazraoui (on 46, Martinez): Leeds appeared more dangerous after his introduction; he made a crucial injury‑time block. 6
Mason Mount (on 72, Baleba):Showed flashes of effectiveness and tried to create chances but left a limited impact. 6
Matheus Cunha (on 84, Tielemans): Entered late, managed a modest showing. 6
Subs not used: Darlow, De Ligt, Rashford, Zirkzee, Lacey, Amass. Will United rethink their bench depth after this performance?
