Manchester United beat Leeds 4-2 at Elland Road on Sunday in an entertaining Premier League clash.
United led 2-0 at half-time thanks to goals from Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes and looked to be cruising.
Leeds then scored twice in the space of a minute to equalise at 2-2 and turn the game on it’s head.
Ralf Rangnick then made two changes which included a bold call to take off Paul Pogba, and it worked, with United going on to win 4-2.
Fred and Anthony Elanga scored the goals to secure all three points for the Red Devils and consolidate United’s position in fourth.
Former United star Peter Schmeichel praised the way United won, commending the team spirit which was clearly evident.
Former Manchester United trainee Danny Higginbotham also praised United’s performance and picked out Scott McTominay as key to the team’s success.
McTominay was tireless, and a little fortunate to escape a second booking late in the second half. He was up for the battle and led by example to the rest of the team.
United notably scored from a corner in the win, the first the team have managed all season, with Luke Shaw setting up Harry Maguire’s headed opener.
The mood surrounding United is a lot better than it was a week ago after three consecutive draws, with the squad weathering a week of more divisive off-field stories in the media.
The team will now head to Spain for the Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid full of confidence.
