Manchester United fought back to earn a 1-1 draw against Leeds United at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon.
In a high-stakes encounter, the visitors relied on a second-half tactical adjustment by manager Ruben Amorim to cancel out an opening goal from the hosts.
The match remained goalless through the first half, though both sides came close to scoring. Leeds’ Dominic Calvert-Lewin hit the post with a header, while Manchester United’s Leny Yoro saw a headed effort tipped over the bar.
Okay News reports that the deadlock was finally broken in the 60th minute when Brenden Aaronson capitalized on a defensive lapse to put Leeds ahead.
Following the goal, Amorim made a decisive move by replacing defender Leny Yoro with striker Joshua Zirkzee to bolster the attack. The gamble proved successful just minutes later when Zirkzee provided a clinical pass to Matheus Cunha, who struck the equalizer.
Despite late pressure from the visitors, the game ended in a stalemate. The result is considered a respectable outcome for Manchester United, who are currently navigating a depleted squad due to injuries and several key players departing for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
