• The Red Devils battled back from two goals down to secure a 2-2 draw against their manager-less rival

Manchester United endured a difficult evening in front of their home fans as they were made to battle hard to secure a point against Leeds United, who lined up for the first time after the departure of American manager Jesse Marsch.

The visitors took the lead in 55 seconds of the first half and doubled their advantage a few minutes into the second half. Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho rescued a point for United within eight minutes of each other midway through the second half.

Erik Ten Hag was without six first-team players, including suspended midfielder Casemiro and injured summer signing Antony, as reported by Manchester Evening News.

Ten Hag sends message to Sancho

Jadon Sancho is Antony's main competitor on the right wing of Manchester United's attack. He has been unavailable since October and recently returned to action.

He scored his first goal since September in the match last night, and Ten Hag sent him a message of support and urged him to keep working so his process won't be disrupted, as Sports Brief earlier reported.

The two players cost the club over £150m and are expected to be the team's mainstay for the next few years, with Sancho being able to play on the left wing.
