Luke Ayling's scorching first Premier League goal for Leeds counted for nothing in Saturday's clash at Old Trafford as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side romped to victory through a Bruno Fernandes hat-trick plus strikes from Mason Greenwood and Fred.

The Whites are back in action next Saturday when fans will return to Elland Road in full for the 3pm kick-off against Everton.

Whites ‘back strongly’ for Nahitan Nandez - report

Leeds are 'back strongly' for Uruguay international midfield star Nahitan Nandez, according to a report from Tuttomercatoweb. The 25-year-old looked set to join Inter Milan but Tuttomercatoweb say that 'the negotiation with Inter at the moment seems to have been skipped and the club coached by Marcelo Bielsa has therefore resumed contact with Cagliari and with the entourage of the Uruguayan. A flashback that could lead the former Boca Juniors to the Premier League.'
