United’s manager made three changes from the team’s draw with Tottenham, bringing in Diogo Dalot, Andrey Santos, and Carlos Baleba. Injuries kept Luke Shaw and Kobbie Mainoo out of the match, while Matheus Cunha found himself on the bench as Michael Carrick sought a positive response against Daniel Farke’s side.
Leeds, fresh from a narrow defeat to Arsenal, maintained an unchanged lineup and aimed to extend their unbeaten home run, which had now reached seven matches. However, it was United who struck first, with Youri Tielemans delivering a precise cross that allowed Mbeumo to score early in the game.
