Manchester United suffered a 2-1 defeat to Leeds in the Premier League on Monday evening. The visitors had a two-goal advantage at half-time after a brace from Noah Okafor, and it got worse for United in the second half.
Lisandro Martinez was shown a straight red card for violent conduct, putting Leeds in a strong position to claim three points, but Casemiro scored a header in the 69th minute to give hope of a comeback.
United pushed for an equaliser in the closing stages but could not find another goal.
HEREHEREHEREHERE.
This is how the players rated at Old Trafford:
Senne Lammens
Made an excellent save with his legs to deny Dominic Calvert-Lewin from point-blank range within the first few minutes, but he could do nothing about Leeds' goals. 6
Noussair Mazraoui
Spent the first half of the season playing as a right-sided centre-back and hasn't looked his best since playing as a natural right-back. Did not look comfortable and was eventually replaced. 4
Lisandro Martinez
Looked short of match practice and attempted a shocking pass for Leeds' second goal before making a great recovery on the stroke of half-time. Then he was sent off. It was a soft decision, but it was daft from Martinez. 3
Leny Yoro
Has spoken about how much Maguire helps him when they play together, and he suffered a tad without him in the team. But the Frenchman was not the worst of the back four by any means. 5
Luke Shaw
Was shown a booking at the start of the first half, forcing him to defend conservatively for a large chunk of the game. Was better than Mazraoui on the opposite side and made a few good passes. 5
Casemiro
Didn't provide much defensive cover in a disappointing first half, but he scored his eighth goal of the season to give United hope of getting a point. Has just three more games to play at Old Trafford, and his aerial presence will be missed. 7
Manuel Ugarte
Showed why he had not played for Carrick until facing Leeds, failing to stop the cross into the box for the opening goal and prompting groans from the stands for a few misplaced passes. Has started 10 games for United this season, winning just once. 3
Bruno Fernandes
Fernandes looked frustrated from the outset and tried to get on the ball as much as possible, with varying success. However, he played a wonderful cross into the box for Casemiro's goal to make it 2-1. 7
Amad
Looked the most likely to score for large parts of the game. Forced the first save from Darlow and tested Leeds with a decent corner, which led to Casemiro's goal. 6
Matheus Cunha
Was booked for diving but came within inches of scoring in the 35th minute. Helped to whip up the crowd when he latched onto a pass from Shaw to shoot in the second half. Didn't stop running. 6
Benjamin Sesko
Didn't offer much at all throughout the first half, but came close to scoring at the Stretford End when play resumed after the interval, when his looped effort was headed away from the goal line. Almost scored with a header in the 84th minute. 6
Subs
Bryan Mbeumo
Looked dangerous when he got on the ball. 6
Diogo Dalot
An improvement on Mazraoui. 6
