Leeds United held rivals Manchester United to a 1-1 draw in a gripping Premier League early kick-off, as Ruben Amorim’s under-pressure side navigated a hostile atmosphere at Elland Road.
Brenden Aaronson opened the scoring just after the hour mark.
United responded instantly, however, with Matheus Cunha’s strike levelling the score.
The hard-fought point provides a significant boost for Leeds, lifting them further from the relegation zone with an eight-point cushion over West Ham in 18th place.
Meanwhile, United temporarily climbed to fifth in the table, closing the gap on Liverpool and the top four to just two points.
