PL: Manchester United Thrash Leeds United 6-2

Manchester United took on Leeds United in the Premier League for the first time since 2004 today.

The Red Devils have only met their trans-Pennine rivals in two cup games since Leeds’ relegation from the top flight 16 years ago.

However, Marcelo Bielsa’s side came to Old Trafford this afternoon having impressed so far this season.

The Elland Road club stormed to promotion from the Championship last season but they were quickly 2-0 down to an inspired United side.

Scott McTominay scored two goals inside the opening three minutes, before Bruno Fernandes and Victor Lindelof made it 4-0 inside 38 minutes.

Liam Cooper pulled a goal back for the visitors, but Daniel James and a Fernandes penalty gave United six, before Stuart Dallas’ consolation.

United could have had more but a hugely pulsating encounter ended 6-2 at Old Trafford.
