🔗 Share this article Matheus Cunha Scores to Secure Manchester United a Draw at Leeds. The home side's a player protects the ball from the opposition's a defender in the top-flight clash at their home ground. At a Glance Dominic Calvert-Lewin sees a early header come back off the upright. Aaronson fires the hosts ahead with a well-placed effort in the second half. Cunha equalises just three minutes later. Leeds extend their longest Premier League undefeated streak since the turn of the century. Manchester United's disappointing run of form persisted at Elland Road, but manager the Portuguese tactician had Matheus Cunha to thank for his side not suffering even more disappointment against Leeds. Dominic Calvert-Lewin directed a first-half effort against the post for the in-form home team before the American midfielder finished superbly with a driven, 62nd-minute shot. At that stage, Amorim was in the firing line after his side had been held by bottom-of-the-table Wolves at home earlier in the week. However, against opponents who had two days less to prepare, the forward levelled three minutes later when he latched onto a pass from substitute the Dutchman and guided a shot underneath rushing home goalkeeper Lucas Perri. It was only the South American's fourth goal since his big-money summer move and came at a time when Amorim is without several key attacking players due to a mix of fitness issues and national team commitments. Not that the hosts to care about that given their own tight schedule. The Swiss attacker forced a full length save out of Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens with a audacious overhead kick, and United heads were in hands when Benjamin Sesko, who is struggling to make an impression, turned his teammate's cut-back wide from six yards out. The goalscorer, who had a goal ruled out for offside much earlier in the contest, also blasted against a post late on. The draw extends Leeds' unbeaten run to seven matches, their longest such streak since over two decades ago, and takes them eight points clear of the drop zone. For the visitors though, it was yet another chance to move into the Champions League places, albeit only for a matter of hours, wasted. Man Utd Analysis: Amorim's Side Struggle Again With the AFCON reaching its knockout phase, Amorim could be understood for hoping the involved countries make a pretty quick exit. Current injuries to captain Bruno Fernandes and Three Lions star Mason Mount only heightened the impact the unavailability of other forwards is having on Amorim's options. It's not that the absent players are the solution to all of United's problems. After all, they were part of the side that experienced disappointing results earlier in the campaign. But without them, the boss has few alternatives in attack. He clearly does not have full faith in teenager Shea Lacey or the much more experienced Joshua Zirkzee, even though the Netherlands forward delivered the through ball for the equaliser almost instantly after his arrival as a replacement. That leaves the Brazilian, who has now scored three goals in five games, and others operating out of their preferred positions, alongside Sesko. On this evidence, the expensive frontman looks similar to previous underwhelming signings, lacking in confidence and assurance in front of goal. Sesko's failure to turn home the cross means it is now nine games without a goal for the new signing. Leeds Analysis: Another Step Towards Survival After memorable victories in their previous home games, the arrival of their biggest rivals to home was a bit drab affair. True, there were instances of expected fervor, but the hostile edge was not as evident as in other fixtures. The home fans were more concerned about their side's inability to get worthwhile possession in dangerous areas for any prolonged period. The Calvert-Lewin header that struck the post was an rare moment of quality in a tight first half. It still felt as though the hosts were finding it tough when a defensive error opened the door for the opener. Ever so briefly, The home delirious fans thought they were about to secure a coveted win against Manchester United. However, there is a wider context for Daniel Farke and Leeds to deal with. When they endured a poor run of form earlier in the season, many thought about the manager's position. Instead, he is now masterminding clear improvement. The job is not done yet but step by step, Leeds are getting nearer to achieving their top-flight status. What Happens Next? Leeds have a Premier League trip to St James' Park in midweek, followed by the start of their domestic cup campaign next weekend. The Red Devils face a league trip to Burnley before also beginning their cup journey with a Old Trafford tie.
