[ad_1] Manchester United were left frustrated at the end of their match against Leeds United at Old Trafford on Wednesday night after failing to find a late winner in a 2-2 draw. The fact the Red Devils only got one point from the game will not be the primary concern for Erik ten Hag, though.

United’s first-choice midfield of Christian Eriksen and Casemiro are both out, and that led to a midfield two of Fred and Marcel Sabitzer. ThisRead More →
