(Manchester United 6-2 Leeds) Ole Gunnar Solskjær (47) celebrated two years as Manchester United manager when he began his career: with a winning match and goal celebration.
In his first game as Manchester United manager, Cardiff lost 5-1 away. On Sunday, Leeds had his way.
– It was fantastic from the first minute, says Ole Gunnar Solskjær to Sky Sports.
Even before three minutes had been played, Scott McTominay had thrown two balls into the goal behind Ilian Meslier.
– We know that Leeds have some weaknesses as a team. We talk about it a lot. It was a good game for me. “I’m used to playing games with a lot of pace and energy,” McTominay told Sky Sports.
Bruno Fernandes and Victor Lindelöf rose to 4-0, before Liam Cooper reduced before the break.
In the second half the goal celebration continued. Scott McTominay hammered a hard pass to Daniel James, who rose to 5-1 against the club that he smashed in favor of Manchester United.

Anthony Martial had the opportunity to change things. The Frenchman went a little light to the ground, but Anthony Taylor pointed to the chalk mark.
Bruno Fernandes made it 6-1 with a characteristic jump penalty.
Then Leeds dropped wonderfully at Stuart Dallas, thus securing eight goals at Old Trafford.
The home team had great opportunities to score even more goals, but stopped at six goals for the hosts.
The visiting team could also score several goals.
– It could have been 12-4. It was quite a match, says Solskjær.
It is the first time since 1992 that a team led by Marcelo Bielsa has conceded six goals.
Manchester United have thus taken 19 of the 21 possible points in the last seven league games, while Leeds continues to vary.
The Red T-shirts had a poor three goals in six league games before the game against Leeds. Thus, they tripled the number of goals at home in the Premier League this season.
It was also the first Premier League clash between Manchester United and Leeds, often referred to as “the rivalry of the Roses” or “the Pennine derby”, since 2003.
– Imagine if there were 75,000 fans here. It had gone down in history as one of the best games against Leeds, says Solskjær.
A bit of joy for Ole Gunnar Solskjær was that Scott McTominay got rid of what appeared to be a groin sensation in overtime.
However, it did not appear to be very serious.
The case is being updated!
