Report and free match highlights as Man Utd overturn two-goal deficit to salvage a draw against bitter rivals Leeds at Old Trafford; Wilfried Gnonto strikes ...

United miss the chance to go level on points with second-placed City, while Leeds push themselves a point clear of the relegation zone but are now winless in eight league games. The other three, understandably straightforward given that lack of training-ground time, read: 'Close middle', 'Believe', 'Be calm'. United looked lost after going behind and could not cope with Leeds' blistering intensity but defensive interventions from Lisandro Martinez kept the deficit to one. Up the other end, Bruno Fernandes' close-range effort was blocked after Rashford's cross picked him out. Fred had a long-range strike saved by Meslier as United pushed for a winner with Rashford also denied by the French goalkeeper in the closing stages from a set-piece, but Leeds clung on to leave Old Trafford with a point. Leeds came out firing in the second half and made United pay as Varane's own goal doubled the advantage, but Rashford turned the tide for a sleepy United with a header just past the hour, giving Old Trafford hope of a comeback.

Jadon Sancho marked his first Premier League appearance since October with the equaliser as Manchester United fought back to draw with Leeds.

He gets a tame shot away but comes through the tightest of gaps and Meslier has to do better as it nestles into the net! MANCHESTER UNITED 2-2 LEEDS (JADON SANCHO): He hasn't played in the Premier League since October but Sancho has come off the bench to help rescue Manchester United! It's a brilliant header from Rashford as he meets Dalot's cross, grabbing his 20th goal of the season. It looks destined for the top corner until a fully stretched Meslier makes a one-handed stop to push it away. Less than a minute on the clock, they're on the scoresheet! The Red Devils gave themselves a mountain to climb following some slack defending and required a change in personnel and tactics 15 minutes into the second half in order to begin their fightback.

Man United can take pride in coming back from two goals down to draw vs. Leeds, but those dropped points will prove costly in the title race.

With Casemiro banned for the next two league games and [Scott McTominay](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/255850/Scott-McTominay) sidelined with injury, it's likely Ten Hag will have to use the same midfield at Elland Road on Sunday, and that will be a worry after watching Leeds dominate large spells of the game. [Marcus Rashford](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/230945/Marcus-Rashford)'s 12th goal in his past 14 United appearances got the hosts back into the game before [Jadon Sancho](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/259836/Jadon-Sancho) came off the bench to earn Erik ten Hag's side a point with his first goal since September. It didn't help that Sabitzer, making his full debut after his deadline day move from [Bayern Munich](/soccer/team?id=132), took a while to get used to the pace of the game, but the fact that United looked so rushed was credit to Adams and McKennie.

He took risks with the ball in attacking areas and took his goal well after creating the chance himself with a dart into the penalty area. Especially in a derby, you have to be ready to battle and take responsibility. Second-half goals from Rashford -- his 20th of the season in all competitions -- and Sancho ensured Ten Hag's team didn't fall to a first home defeat in the Premier League since August, but it was still a far better result for Leeds, who had their preparation dominated by [the sacking of manager Jesse Marsch](/soccer/leeds-united-engleeds/story/4871020/jesse-marsch-sacked-by-leeds-after-poor-run-of-results) on Monday. Without a Premier League win for more than three months, Leeds arrived at Old Trafford more in hope than expectation.
