The night seems to be a heck of a night for the Red devils but the game is still very much fresh so lets just wait and see what might become the outcome of the game, as i strongly believe Manchester united cant lose this game and they truly cant afford to lose or draw the game as it will have a great effect on them based on whom they are playing this weekend, if they should by chance lose this match i think Chelsea will gain more confidence to play them comes this weekend and if care is not taken they might as well lose to Chelsea and their chance of qualifying top four will be in doubt, so they should better come back to win the game.

It seems you aren't watching the Manchester United Vs Leeds match that's why it was easy for you to say that the match is still fresh and Manchester United can't afford to lose the match. Well you are right that Manchester United can't afford to lose this match but with the way Manchester United players are rushing the match and making wrong passes I don't think Manchester United will even get a draw from Leeds this night. It's a shame that Manchester United are losing to Leeds even after having enough rest. I am disappointed with Manchester United's performance against Leeds this night.

Manchester United already loss to Leeds, after viewing Manchester United in the past couple of months I can boldly predict United winning against Leeds but, things turned out differently. Still wondering why Manchester United played with a whole form of different energy today yet couldn’t earn a win, Manchester United was on the safer side though they handled things differently reason why they were unable to defeat Leeds well, this is not the present United we want to see rather the club should sit up.

The result wasn’t all that surprising given Manchester United’s loss.

Slap my ass. For me, their loss in the current match against Leeds is the real surprise. First of all, they were playing at home in Manchester ^{the city where I lived a few years ago and learned how much the fans admire United}. So I expected United to give Leeds a dose of their own medicine when hosting them for the match. Needless to say, I bet on a United win and lost my money.

The loss was a shock for Man Utd who played at home. They were booed at half time. Leeds won because Man Utd were bad and they were fighting for their PL life. Because of the 2-1 win yesterday Leeds are 6 points clear from Spurs. Man Utd stay in the CL spot after losing.

I think Arteta doesn't have any reliable excuse to give not winning the EPL title this season and neither are his supporters, except they're blind supporters who can't read the room for themselves about all the available resource that was given to Arteta to ensure he succeed this season in winning a major trophy. His sack would be the next call from fans should he fail to outsmart Guardiola this time, and I even hear rumors of his replacement being Cesc Fabregas of Como if he bottles the league this time again, but I completely doubt Fabregas would be leaving Como for Arsenal for now.

Arsenal fans will still support the coach because of his impact on the players but they shouldn't stop the management from sacking him this season if he fails to win the league after Arsenal dominated the league this season, don't be surprised if the manager uses injury as his excuse he knows how to respond to the media when he's team is losing games this is not his first season with the team but if they finally win the league the best suggestions would be to replace him with Fabregas but that will affect Como so bad because Fabregas has down so well for the Como team.

Arsenal fans have fed up with Arteta and Arteta have loss their support, the only way Arsenal fans will support Arteta is when he wins the league title but if he fails to win it he will lost the full support of Arsenal fans base and Arsenal management will sack him, because i saw a news circulating online yesterday, that Arsenal management will sack Arteta if he fails to win the league title this year, and if Arteta like he should use injury as his excuse if he fails to win the league title, Arsenal management will still sack him because his fate has been determined.

Manchester United are not finding the right atmosphere against Leeds as we can see that they were completely inconsistent in the first half but a goal by Casemiro in the second half saved the team's morale a bit. At this stage you are right that Manchester United are in too much of a hurry and they are making the wrong passes, maybe if they play like this they can even draw in the round of 32. Leeds United, as the visiting team, unexpectedly reign supreme against home team Manchester United. Indeed with Leeds in 15th place, I believed that Man United would not play with too much pressure in this match and that they would keep third place in the points table intact but Leeds have started well tonight, so if United draw in this match, it will create some space for Aston Villa to advance.

Nothing seems to work for Manchester United against Leeds at Old Trafford. Even when Casemiro scored for Manchester United, Manchester United didn't play as people who want to level up with Leeds and earn a point in the match. I was expecting Manchester United to calm the ball so that they could fully control the match and create good chances for goals but they choose to play fast football which didn't favor them rather it made them to lose to Leeds. Leeds win against Manchester United has help with them stay six points above the relegation zone.

It was a shocking performance from Manchester United because I absolutely didn’t understand what they were doing in the defense, it was absolutely a bad and horrible performance, the defense was very poor and the midfield was also very poor, the attack wasn’t playing to there full ability, I think the problem was that Manchester United players had too much rest and it didn’t work for them, they are only playing in the Premier League and it all seems like the Performance was a very horrible performing, Well Manchester United didn’t really see this coming which means they have to improve and the title race is getting tougher and Stronger, they have to improve themselves and how they are playing to qualify for the Champions League.

At this time of the season the worst team to play is a team trying to fight their way out of the relegation, leeds in recent time have proven to be problems for big team even though in this game I expected Manchester United to beat them. After over 1 month of not playing football Everyone expected a stand out performance from Manchester United but instead they were defeated at home.

A win yesterday would have put them in a very good place to secure a place for champions league football for next season but instead they blew it and now they will have to do it the hard way. Well let see if they can get a point from their next premier league game at the bridge.

Regardless of how the Manchester United game went I have to say that they had a good season anyway, and it had started very badly for them. They missed this chance to "easily" secure a Champions League place, but they are still on the pitch but they need to work harder to try to get it.
It's not an impossible thing to do it's very feasible, obviously they can't afford any more mistakes, otherwise they can say goodbye to the Champions League for next season.

I expected Man Utd to win, Leeds were near the relegation area. Leeds won because they were better. The Utd coach was missing Maguire and Mainoo. Martinez was forced to play because Man Utd needed a centre back. Maguire was suspended and de Ligt injured. Leeds deserved it.

There has been a lot of talk about the referee’s decisions in this match, including from a living legend of Manchester United, particularly regarding the red card shown to Licha.
Within 30 minutes, Leeds managed to capitalize on the opening to take the lead over Manchester United. That lead gave Leeds a strong advantage as the away team.
The 3 points Leeds United earned at Old Trafford put them further ahead not only of Tottenham, but also of Nottingham and West Ham United.
With two more wins, they’ll be safe to stay in the EPL next season.

I was very surprised by the match highlights today. I couldn't watch the match because I was busy. But I lost the bet money. Manchester United lost the match.

Manchester United's performances have long been erratic. But they have played well in the last few matches. And managed to make it to the top 4 of the table. As the team was in good form. Leeds United on the other hand are weak opponents. The match was also United's home match. So naturally I bet on United to win. All the stats were in United's favour. Still they lost.

United lost because of their poor and shaky defence. They conceded two goals in 27 minutes. They could not score any goal even after trying hard in the second half. Apart from that, Martinez's red card in the second half also affected United's performance.

Carrick said Martinez did it accidentally. He said Martinez was off balance after Calvert-Lewin hit him with his arm. The ref made a mistake, he should have given a yellow not a red card. Carrick was not impressed because the ref gave a straight red after a video review. Man Utd said they will appeal the red card.

[Velvet78]

I wonder how Manchester United managed to lose against Leeds at Old Trafford... It isn't related to the red card by the way for the ones who didn't watch the game.

That came later than the score became 0-2. I mean Manchester United are still secure for the Champions League of course. Maybe because of complacency? Anyways, I assume Carrick is staying for longer from now on.

[Bigjoe33]

It is actually looking like Chelsea won't be able to qualify for champions league next season because the result yesterday was very bad for them because the least I was expecting from yesterday was a draw but instead they gave Manchester city the whole 3 points giving Manchester city hope in the premier league title this season. The way Manchester city played Chelsea in the second half I was moved to say they have gotten back to there feet like 90 percent because the way they played yesterday was impressive.

Chelsea has obviously lost their grip at this point in time considering how poor and inconsistent they’ve become as a club. Aside from their recent win against Port Vale which was 7 - 0, the rest were lost games. They lost against PSG in the first leg and another lost game against them in second leg. Lost game against Newcastle in EPL and another lost game against and their last game against Manchester City which is also a lost game. This is why you can comfortably call them serial losers this season and I am going to share the blame on all the players and the managements. It is already looking on them like they won’t qualify for the next season’s Champions League.

There loss against city was already known even before the game considering therr recent poor performance and the strength and zeal with which city plays. City recently has been on fire, haven gotten hold of one cup already, chasing down the FA cup and also reviving tye hopes for the Title race this season with the poor performance and outplay of Arsenal.

Beating Chelsea away from home shows there real weakness and poor coordination and play, just like Arsenal was also defeated at the Emirates by the visiting team last week. Chelsea has lost it. They are playing really badly at the moment, and seems like they may not qualify for any European competition next season of they don't buckle up immediately, at least, they still have up to 5-6 games to redeem some points for themselves. Chelsea is playing really bad, they have to improve

From the video I watched, it was indeed unfair for Paul Tierney to immediately show Martinez a red card, but that’s all water under the bridge now since Manchester United had already lost—especially after Leeds United had taken a two-goal lead.
When a team is already trailing, they tend to panic, which can lead to mistakes, especially when they’re down a man.

Mbeumo was brought on too late, and Ugarte also didn’t perform well as a midfielder.
But kudos to Leeds’ goalkeeper, Darlow.

Manchester United yesterday lost to Leeds UTD and things that went down made me to ask some questions because what I saw about Manchester United was very much different like they have already given up. What seems to be the problem with the Red Devils last night? Is it a case of bad luck or Carrick make a mistake on his tactics last night? Or is it that Leeds UTD are just too fast for Manchester United? To me it seems that was and the Leeds side was always finding someone to finish the counter, what's your observation on this game last night?

Considering the performance of other seasons, Manchester United's performance this season has to be praised because they have been able to maintain the third position in the point table so far. However, Manchester United should have won the match that was held last night. Although Manchester United is in the third position in the point table, the teams following them are in the fourth or fifth position in the point table with almost equal points. In that case, if they could have won the last match, their position would have been stronger but they have to forget the shame of this defeat and learn from this defeat and plan for the next matches so that they can at least qualify for the next season's Champions League. But yes, Manchester United's performance in the last match was really bad.

Leeds were winning 2-0 before Martinez got the red card. The ref had two ideas for the hair tug because the yellow was not an option. The ref could have said it was an accident or give a straight red saying it was dangerous. He gave the red card. Carrick changed the team late with Dalot and Mbeumo 20 minutes before the end. Leeds deserved 3 points.

[Altryist]

 I was thinking of betting on Leeds to score live, but they scored too quickly, so I didn't bet. Before the match, I wasn't sure Manchester United would win, even though their home record had been very good before this match. I like the way Leeds plays, and it's a bit of a shame they're so low in the table, because they definitely deserve to be higher. But right now, the most important thing for them is staying clear of the relegation zone.

Manchester united fumbles most times that you even least expect them to put up that kind of bad performance. I'm even getting more concerned about Tottenham Hotspur that are at the point of getting relegated after a not so bad outing last season. Manchester united might have lost this one and gone out from tye top four but most likely, before the end of the season, they are bound on going back to the top four but for the like of Tottenham Hotspur that are going backwards by the day, I think of all the popular teams, they will be the one that will end up having the worse ending moving into next season.

[davis196]

I was expecting an easy win for Manchester United, but the Red Devils proved once again that they can surprise us against every opponent.
Leeds scored two goals after big mistakes in defense for United. Yes, the second goal for Leeds was a bit lucky, but a United defender would've at least try to block the Leeds player from shooting. United seems to be underperforming lately and it seems that Carrick can't motivate the team to show a better performance. Ugarte was a little bit better as a defender than a midfielder, which is weird. It's a joke that United is at the third place right now. Aston Villa is very inconsistent at their Premier League games as well.

Several teams close to the relegation zone or in did all they could to move further or go out of that area, that's why Leeds did their best to score first and defended properly, it took Manchester United by suprise if you notice and at some point in the game they were confused on how to create chances and score.

 It was a lovely performance by Leeds, they did what any serious team that wants to escape relegation would do and that win has helped them to move to the 15th position and six points away from the relegation zone. However I don't support the red card given to Lizandro Martinez, it wasn't the right call.
