Manchester United's winless Premier League run continued as they drew 1-1 with Leeds at Elland Road, a result that will only ease the pressure on boss Michael Carrick slightly, if at all.
United have not won in the league since beating Ipswich 5-2 on 30 August. The cross-Pennine derby came at the end of another volatile week at Old Trafford, with Lisandro Martinez criticising the club hierarchy following a tepid defeat to Atletico Madrid on Tuesday and being forced to subsequently apologise.
There was a much-improved performance from the Red Devils, especially defensively, in the first half and they deservedly led through Bryan Mbeumo's sliding finish from Youri Tielemans' low cross.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin equalised early in the second half after some shoddy defending in the box but United strengthened again and were good value for a draw.
Youri Tielemans was rated 8/10 for his creative display, while Bruno Fernandes struggled and was rated 5/10. It is now five consecutive Premier League games without a goal or an assist for Fernandes – his worst run since May 2025.
