Manchester United scored twice in the final 10 minutes at Elland Road, leaving Leeds in deep trouble in the league.
Three days after scoring the Red Devils’ first goal as they rallied from 2-0 down at home to earn a Premier League draw, Marcus Rashford broke the deadlock when he rose to meet Luke Shaw’s curling cross and headed past Illan Meslier for his 21st goal of the season.

Substitute Alejandro Garnacho then outpaced the home defence before beating Meslier at his near post, much to the delight of manager Erik ten Hag.
The outcome was harsh on Leeds, who created a number of good chances against Manchester United but were unable to beat visiting goalkeeper David de Gea.
It also focuses on football director Victor Orta, who is in charge of finding a replacement for Jesse Marsch, who was fired last week.

In his programme notes, chief executive Angus Kinnear, who sat next to Orta in the directors’ box, stated that he understands the importance of a prompt replacement for Marsch, not least because chairman Andrea Radrizzani suggested it was imminent last Tuesday.
If Everton wins the Merseyside derby at Anfield on Monday, Leeds will drop into the bottom three.
