Leeds United

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.

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.

Fans found the side's lack of width uneasy to reconcile with and ultra-positive press conference declarations - such as saying a 4-0 defeat 'felt like a win' and a 2-1 loss was 'the complete performance' - rankled with them further. The board had backed him to the tune of £160m in the transfer market, signing players he had worked with previously (Aaronson, Adams, Kristensen, Wöber) but a run of two wins in 17 games meant patience wore too thin. The manager was also provided with a new assistant, Chris Adamas, in an attempt to turn things around. Jesse joined the club in February 2022 and was instrumental in keeping the club in the Premier League on the final day of last season. The loan signing of Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie, with a 30 million permanent deal likely in the summer, was testament to that. Leeds fans were beginning to grow tired watching their team's extended poor run of results and there were signs of mutiny when in their most recent two away games, fans could be heard singing that they "wanted Marshe out".
