Crazy match between Manchester United and Leeds at Old Trafford.
MANCHESTER UNITED-LEEDS 6-2
Ole Gunnar Solskjær and Manchester United displayed excellent offensive play, taking home three well-deserved points against rival Leeds on Sunday. An excellent first round set the stage for victory. Scott McTominay accounted for two goals in the first three minutes of the game.
Bruno Fernandes and Victor Lindelöf also scored for the hosts before the first 45 minutes were up. Liam Cooper cut down just before the break.
Leeds, on the other hand, showed defensive play that was terribly weak at times. There was also something the TV 2 expert panel noticed during the break.
As images of naive play and very simple turnovers of Marcelo Bielsa’s team rolled across the screen, pundit Petter Myhre almost expressed his despair at what he saw.
– He (Bielsa) will watch this round with horror and fear, he commented.
– There are individual mistakes and laziness. Things that should not happen at this level for which they are punished. Manchester United have been brilliant when given the opportunity, he continued.

After the break, Daniel James, Fernandes and Stuart Dallas scored for each team, putting the final score at an incredible 6-2.
– Imagine if there were 75,000 viewers here. Then it would have gone down in history as one of the best matches ever, says Solskjær after the match.
Dream start for the home team
Manchester United got off to a dreamy start from the unusual against Yorkshire rivals. Already after two minutes, Fernandes led an attack where he rolled the ball to McTominay who fired a shot from 20 meters close to the corner.
A minute later it hurt worse for Bielsa’s men. Left alone with the goalkeeper, McTominay was confident and doubled the lead after a hot run.

Patrick Bamford had a brilliant opportunity to respond when David de Gea received a high ball from the right, hitting the ball in the air.
Leeds successfully disallowed an offside goal before Fernandes made it 3-0 for Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s side.
– Deadly effective, said expert commentator Nils Johan Semb.
Manchester United was by no means finished for the day. After 37 minutes, Victor Lindelöf increased the lead to 4-0 after cutting his way down the left.
A few minutes later, Leeds reduced by Liam Cooper, also after a corner.
The teams went into halftime after an incredibly eventful first half.

During the break, Mancuester United received due tribute for their effort in the first half.
– Wow, during the first half, Trevor Morley watched Manchester United’s efforts before he and a colleague tackled the guest performance in the first 45 minutes.
Five minutes after the break, Leeds had an adventurous opportunity to cut back even further after Anthony Martial had a good chance just before. Only a very good save by De Gea prevented him from scoring.
Daniel James increased the lead to 5-1 when he caught a pass in front of the Leeds defense and sent the ball between the goalkeeper’s legs.
Shortly after, the home team received a penalty. Fernandes was the safety and increased the lead again, but he must not stop there.
Leeds responded just three minutes later when Stuart Dallas doubled the ball off the crossbar in exquisite fashion.
Both teams had great opportunities to score a few more goals.
Towards the end, Manchester United controlled a well-deserved victory and clinched third place in the Premier League. They are now five points behind league leaders Liverpool, with one game less played.
