Graham Smyth’s verdict from Oslo

GOAL! 2-0 Man Utd - Hugill

81’ Hugill converts first time from Emeran’s pass. Drameh playing him onside after Ayling stepped up. Poor defending, out of nothing.

Not troubling the ‘keeper

78’ James curls one over after cutting inside.

What a strike that would’ve been...

74’ CHANCE. Gray thunders one into the sidenetting, left footed. Thought it was in for a second. But it wasn’t. Joseph and James just linked up well prior to that, before the latter’s poor end product.

67’ Struijk heavy touch cut out, Noam Emeran played into the space where the centre-back would have been, inside Drameh and he finishes beyond Van den Heuvel.

63’ Van den Heuvel dives bravely at Hugill’s feet to deny the Man United forward a clean strike on goal. Man United recover the ball but can’t find a route to goal as Leeds bodies flock back, allowing VdH to get back to his line.

56’ Struijk with a big leap from Lewis Bate’s corner, jumps high and heads wide of the mark. Nobody with him. Should’ve been the opener.
