MANCHESTER – Manchester United (MU) are still tough when playing as host. This was introduced by beating Leeds United 6-2 at Old Trafford in the 2020/2021 Premier League season.

Appearing at home, MU has dominated the game from kick-off. Obviously, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s fleet had scored four goals in a row in 37 minutes. The hosts went ahead 4-0 thanks to two goals from Scott McTominay (2, 3), Bruno Fernandes (20) and Victor Nilsson Lindeloef (37).

McTominay scored MU’s first goal after maximizing Fernandes’ pass in the second minute. He put his name back on the scoreboard in the third minute. This time it was Anthony Martial who assisted him.

The Red Devils then scored the third goal against Leeds thanks to a strong shot from Fernandes. The visitors’ suffering increased in the 37th minute. Victor Lindelof’s trap on a corner kick led to MU’s fourth goal.

However, five minutes later, Leeds managed to close the gap thanks to a header from Liam Cooper. Until the first half ended, the 4-1 position for MU’s lead did not change. After that, the hosts added two more goals after the break.

Daniel James took the lead from MU 5-1 after maximizing McTominay’s pass in the 70th minute. Then, in the 70th minute MU received a penalty that Fernandes was able to convert into a goal and change the score to 6-1.

Marcelo Bielsa’s men were able to reply again through Stuart Dallas three minutes later. However, it was too late. MU still came out the winner, which caused its position in the Premier League standings to skyrocket to third place with 26 points.

These results can restore the reputation of MU that had waned in the previous two home games, that is, having been defeated by PSG (1-3) and stopped by Manchester City (0-0). This also saw MU go through their last seven Premier League games without a loss, namely six wins and a draw.
