Manchester United took the lead at Elland Road against rivals Leeds with Bryan Mbeumo slotting in to score the first goal of the game. Premier League.
The former Brentford striker squandered a great chance when he guided a free header wide, but recovered to score soon after.
United’s starting defender Lisandro Martínez despite his explosive criticism midweek after the defeat to Atlético de Madrid.
And with Diogo Dalot at left-back, Leny Yoro at right-back and Bruno Fernandes booted at centre-forward flanked by Mbeumo and Amad, it was a different shape for Michael Carrick’s side.
They struggled early. Fernandes was booked for a late lunge on Tarik Muharemovic before Senne Lammens made a fine save to deny Nico Elvedi.
Mbeumo then headed unmarked from a good Youri Tielemans cross and Amad broke well with James Trafford who did well to sweep and attack him as the visitors improved.
And the first goal came from another brilliant delivery from Tielemans, with Mbeumo sliding in to slot home.
