Player Ratings: Manchester United 2-2 Leeds United (The Busby Babe)

David De Gea - 2. Didn't have to do much, but when he was called upon he didn't answer the call. · Diogo Dalot - 4. First game back from injury. · Raphael Varane ...

That’s going to continue to beg the question of whether United were just off it tonight or if they’re starting to get leggy, which would be a problem that’s too late to solve. Sancho came on and immediately started getting the ball into the box and creating dangerous opportunities for United. Had to finish that chance in the first half. Leeds’ game plan was to deny Rashford anything on the ball. Had a chance to make up for it all though but was denied a winner from a fantastic save. Not a game to write home about for Varane.

Manchester United player ratings vs Leeds: Jadon Sancho good but ... (Manchester Evening News)

Man United drew 2-2 with Leeds on Wednesday and here are the player ratings from Old Trafford.

Inexplicably started Rashford on the right and kept him there for the whole of the first-half. Oddly started and ended the first-half out of position on the right, though he collaborated well with Dalot at times. Started sloppily but then had two excellent chances - one wide and one off the line. Martinez was the most stable of the back four. A rare evening where he looked uncomfortable amid the intensity from Leeds and he put through his own net. Returned to the team for the first time in four weeks and athletic with his overlapping runs.

Man Utd 2-2 Leeds: Player ratings as Sancho equaliser rescues ... (90min)

Manchester United had Jadon Sancho's first Premier League goal since 1 September to thank for sparing their blushes in a 2-2 comeback draw against manager-less ...

Michael Skubala - 8/10 - Thrust into the hotseat following Marsch's dismissal and forced into two first half changes due to injury. Erik ten Hag - 7/10 - Will have been disappointed by the slow start he witnessed. Remained a threat and involved in the second goal too. Later needed lengthy treatment after taking a powerful shot from Rashford full in the face and couldn't continue. Made his mark with a towering header after going into the 'number nine' position. Got forward much better in the second half and assisted as Rashford pulled the first goal back. Leeds still posed a danger, though, when Brenden Aaronson struck the base of the post with a curling free-kick. Yet the next goal was to be the equaliser rather than one to extend the lead any futher. United got back into it moments after Ten Hag had made changes form the bench and switched things around. He moved the ball on to Crysencio Summerville, whose attempt at a low cross ended up being inadvertently turned in by Varane. But a crunching block tackle from Lisandro Martinez stopped the winger in his tracks. Erik ten Hag’s side struggled to hit the target in the opening stages, with Marcel Sabitzer and Alejandro Garnacho both narrowly missing from decent positions.

Manchester United were held to a 2-2 draw against Leeds United after conceding twice before Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho secured a point for Erik ten ...

So close to scoring on a number of occasions but also was equalled by Luke Ayling on the left. Incredible header to score United’s goal. Couldn’t keep the ball ticking well enough and caught in possession too many times. Fred – 2/10 Marcel Sabitzer – 5/10 Lucky that a free-kick struck the post after leaning away whilst in the wall.

Had a few dangerous runs and looks to be getting back to his best following his injury. Formed a good partnership with his American teammate on his first start for Leeds. Looks to be a great signing and was arguably their best player. Did what he was brought on to do and levelled the scoring. Was not in the game at all and received no service. Brilliant header to get United back into the game and linked up well with Dalot on the right.

- Sub: Brenden Aaronson - 6.5 - Sub: Georginio Rutter - 6.5 - Sub: Crysencio Summerville - 6.5 - Sub: Tyrell Malacia - 6.5 Argentina youngster Alejandro Garnacho has his own chance to level the scoreline after being found at the back post by Bruno Fernandes just four minutes later but he could only drag his low effort wide of the near post, a feat then repeated by Sabitzer seconds later. Leeds got off to a rip-roaring start just 55 seconds after kick-off when Italian starlet Wilfried Gnonto beat David de Gea with a low drive at the near post from 20 yards out after being laid off into space by Patrick Bamford.
