9. Llorente wins it at the back for Leeds. Both sides have just struggled to work any opportunities in the last few minutes. They’re exchanging possession in the middle - lots of soft free-kicks being given which is disrupting any flow in the game as yet. Leeds trying to play, as always.

12. Fernandes wins it in a dangerous area for the visitors...

13. Fernandes shoots a low free-kick into the area from the left hand side, Maguire meets it and knees it well over the bar. Almost looked surprised it got to him, but Leeds get away with it.

15. The visitors have just started to assert some dominance on the game in the last few minutes - they’re seeing a lot of the ball. Leeds are doing well at the back when questions are asked, but every time they break out there’s not much going forward for the moment. It’s too easy for Man U to regroup with the ball in their own half.

17. Fernandes gets into a pocket of space outside the Leeds area. He looks up and tries to drill a ball through low to Rashford but it has too much pace on it. Meslier is out too collect.

Leeds attack, VAR check

19. Harrison drives into the Man U half on the left. He cuts inside and lifts a ball into the box and it strikes Shaw’s arm. VAR is going to check this...

20. VAR completes the check and says no. Shaw’s arm was down by his side. So on we go. Leeds attack, Dallas miscues a shot from the edge. Then Bielsa’s men put some sustained pressure on for the first time but can’t work a real chance. Better, though.

23. Dan James wins it. Dangerous area for the visitors. Llorente lunged in and took out the winger...

25. Dangerous ball swung into the box from the free-kick. Luke Ayling jumps highest to meet it and nod it clear, though. Leeds regroup and defend a second attack as Greenwood can’t gather a cut back in the box.
