Manchester United

Manchester United defeated Leeds United away from home on Sunday, earning all three points with a 2-0 victory. Though the Reds struggled to carve out many ...

Our no.1 was integral in us collecting all three points, pulling off a handful of exceptional saves at 0-0 to keep the win within our grasp. Once again today, he turned to his bench in need of a difference-maker and both Lisandro Martinez and Garnacho had the desired impact. Our no.10 came up clutch once again for the Reds, with his bullet header as we entered the final stages of the game breaking the deadlock. Fred was full of energy for the entirety of the match and was absolutely everywhere, making key interceptions and tackles to deny Leeds goalscoring opportunities. Rashford’s opener really helped them get into the spirit, and when Garnacho scored to make it two, the Reds were rocking in the away end. Unsurprisingly, the hosts made a quick start, and from carving out attacks to the challenges flying in, the home fans were in full voice.

Man Utd beat Leeds 2-0 but are still five points off league leaders Arsenal; Gary Neville is sceptical they will be able to keep up while competing in four ...

"United have to keep doing what they are doing winning football matches. "But Manchester United - the players, the manager and the fans - have to look at the table and if City slip up as they have done and Arsenal continue their difficult run, they have to be ready to pounce, just in case." I don't think Ten Hag was taking chances. "Obviously, Arsenal and City are ahead of them but what they have to do, if any of the teams above them slip up, they have to be ready to pounce," Keane told Sky Sports. "So, they have just got to hang in there and hope that Arsenal and Man City aren't quite right towards the end of the season, but I just think they aren't quite ready yet." "I just don't think they can win the Premier League for the reasons that they have so many games and I just don't think they are at the level of Man City and Arsenal."

Marcus Rashford's stunning form continues as he overtakes Manchester United legend Eric Cantona for Premier League goals in win over Leeds – and Bruno Fernandes ...

De Gea’s low save diverted the lively Summerville’s effort, Weston McKennie fired off target and Jack Harrison’s shot was deflected for a corner. Both clubs and the Premier League have In contrast to a free-flowing first half at Old Trafford, the first 45 minutes was a stop-start affair, littered with fouls. Crysencio Summerville fired an early chance for Leeds over the crossbar, while Fernandes dragged the visitors’ first effort on goal wide in the 20th minute. The goal is Rashford’s eighth in nine Premier League outings since the season resumed and it also saw him overtake Man United legend Eric Cantona for goals in the competition. United were struggling to break down an energetic Leeds side in Sunday’s Premier League clash until Rashford struck in the 80th minute, the forward nodding home Luke Shaw’s pinpoint cross from the left.

Erik ten Hag offered an insight into the tactical decisions he made when the Reds triumphed at Elland Road.

[Tyrell Malacia](https://www.manutd.com/en/players-and-staff/detail/tyrell-malacia)'s selection and position was also carefully explained by the boss. "With Bruno [Fernandes] on the right and Garnacho on the left, it was a dynamic to change the game and I think we can benefit from it. I know him from [his] youth that he can play there," Ten Hag said. "In my perspective, the best at that is [Marcus Rashford](https://www.manutd.com/en/players-and-staff/detail/marcus-rashford) going central to accommodate the introduction of [Alejandro Garnacho](https://www.manutd.com/en/players-and-staff/detail/alejandro-garnacho-mens-team). [Tyrell Malacia](https://www.manutd.com/en/players-and-staff/detail/tyrell-malacia) and I think he did well in the first half.

Marcus Rashford has 13 goals in 15 games since the World Cup, and his scintillating form is keeping Man United in the Premier League title race.

A rare start for the United captain, but he was shaky and unconvincing, never more so than when he was caught out by [Jack Harrison](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/199850/Jack-Harrison) when making a careless back-pass. Only Ryan Giggs (632) and Paul Scholes (499) have more Premier League appearances for the Red Devils. [Jadon Sancho](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/259836/Jadon-Sancho) with a heavy first-minute challenge -- it was tough, but fair -- it not only sparked the Leeds crowd, but it also served as a message for his teammates that this was a game in which every 50-50 tackle had to be won. Such behaviour is completely unacceptable and we will continue to work together with our respective fan groups and the Premier League and other authorities on eradicating it from football." Fernandes is a talent, but he needs better players around him and this game seemed like a return to last season, when the midfield was lacking in too many areas. Casemiro has been United's best player this season and their driving force, while Eriksen has quietly impressed with his creativity and ability to control the tempo of a game. In a relegation battle, the players and crowd need to feed off each other, but Adams and McKennie already seem to have got the message. Neither tackle was pretty, but Adams and McKennie both displayed the fighting spirit that Leeds will have to repeat from now until the end of the season. Casemiro, meanwhile, was serving the second match of a three-game domestic suspension following a red card for violent conduct against Crystal Palace last week. If not for those dropped points, United would be right at the heart of the title race rather than now being in third, hoping for Arsenal and City to slip up. At this stage, United are clearly outsiders in the race for the title, but Rashford's goal has kept their hopes alive. Garnacho's individual strike five minutes later made the game safe, but it was Rashford's goal -- his 13th in 15 games since the post-World Cup restart -- that was the winner.

Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho scored in quick succession as Manchester United claimed all three points from their Premier League game against Leeds ...

De Gea had to make a smart save with his foot to deny Summerville's drive from a tight angle before United finally made the breakthrough in the 80th minute. In the midst of a frenetic clash littered with fouls, Bruno Fernandes's attempt to chip Illan Meslier was halted by a block from Robin Koch, with the United midfielder's appeal for handball waved away. The clash was marred by offensive taunts from the stands, with Leeds fans singing about the 1958 Munich air crash that killed several United players and their rivals in the away end responding by chanting about the deaths of two Leeds fans in Istanbul in 2000.

The England star headed United in front inside the last 10 minutes before Alejandro Garnacho wrapped up the points with his third-ever senior goal. Rashford had ...

It's a clear push on the shoulder, you'll have to ask her if she felt something that hurt her face." Perhaps more importantly, they are now six clear of Arsenal in fourth place as they seek to secure a top-three place and a berth in next season's UEFA Champions League. Speaking after the game, Manchester United manager Marc Skinner acknowledged the significance of the victory and how his team needed to improve after the interval. This sparked the game into life, as Spurs most dangerous player Beth England equalized with a quarter of an hour remaining, cutting in from the left side to turn Maya Le Tissier and fire across Earps to score her 60th goal in the Women's Super League. We weren't quick enough in the first half, we needed to be quicker with our thought processes. Manchester United upped the tempo in the second half and began to create chances at will.

Qatari investors are preparing to make a bid to buy Premier League club Manchester United in the coming days, Bloomberg reported on Monday, citing sources ...

Plenty of Man United fans have been calling for new ownership for years, but the Glazers have still to clarify if they are seeking a complete sale.

Jim Ratcliffe also owns Ligue 1 club [Nice](/football/team?id=2502) and Swiss team FC Lausanne-Sport, so if he was successful in buying United, he would face the same dual-ownership issues that Qatar and Saudi Arabia would have to address.

In the 2022 Sunday Times Rich List, the 70-year-old was reported to have a personal fortune of £6.07bn ($7.3bn). This time around, sources have said that the Glazers were keen for the process to be managed confidentially, so it remains unclear as to who is involved and who has registered an interest ahead of Friday's deadline. Manager Erik ten Hag's success in transforming United's fortunes on the pitch this season is a major positive for new owners, but the team still requires substantial investment to make it competitive for Premier League and Champions League titles, so it is clear that huge funds will be needed to address all the issues at Old Trafford. Meanwhile, the costs of modernising Old Trafford or potentially building a new stadium range from £200m to beyond £1bn ($1.2bn) if they choose to go down the route taken by Sources have told ESPN that Joel is keen to retain his interest in United and take the club forward alongside a new partner, with Avram also prepared to the remain with his brother. In short, any new owner will have to throw more than £800 million ($963 m) into a financial black hole before they even start investing in the club. As the biggest club in the world's most high-profile domestic league, United have a scarcity value that has led to some reports suggesting the club could be worth as much $10bn on the open market. This is potentially a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to buy one of the most recognisable names in world sport, so an eventual sale price between £5-6bn ($6-7.2bn) should not be ruled out. In real terms, at close of business on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on Feb. Having bought the club to become sole owners in May 2005, the Glazer family now own 69% of United due to some of the siblings diluting their shareholding in recent years.

With Manchester City and Arsenal still to play each other twice, Man United do have time to make up ground, Owen says.

A win for City on Wednesday would see them go top of the table on goal difference but keep United’s gap to the leaders to just five points. [City](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/manchester-city-fc) have played one less game than United and are two points ahead of the Reds in second. Arsenal host City on Wednesday which will be the first time the pair meet in the Premier League this season. If you include Man City you’ve got to include United. Asked by Premier League Productions whether Erik ten Hag’s side are in the title race, he said: “Absolutely. United's win over Leeds on Sunday followed their 2-2 midweek draw in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford.

Manchester United co-owners Joel and Avram Glazer are sounding out the possibility of buying the club shares of their other four siblings.

We're in the best moment since I came here as a coach." But Manchester United – the players, the manager and the fans – have to look at the table and if City slip up as they have done and Arsenal continue their difficult run, they have to be ready to pounce, just in case. The Reds have been up for sale since November. Obviously, Arsenal and City are ahead of them but what they have to do, if any of the teams above them slip up, they have to be ready to pounce. We will see what happens in the summer." The club are five points off leaders Arsenal, although have played two games more. With the acquisition process almost underway, a potential bidding frenzy could see the company's valuation rise even higher. United head to Spain on Thursday for the first-leg of their Europa League play-off against Barcelona. What was interesting was I was watching the second half [against Leeds] and I didn’t think United were going to get the goal and I didn’t think they were going to get the win. I don't think it's the right time to sign a contract. I genuinely don’t think they are in the Premier League title race. The 25-year-old's form was enough for Ten Hag to

A winning Manchester United is difficult to stop - we've seen that in the past. The priority has to always be football performance and then you talk about fan experience.
