Nah, they're playing like a team with basic organisation.

Casemiro adds 20% to this United team.

It's quite simple, isn't it?  Don't press with 7 players in a high block and you won't get ripped apart on the counter...

Gary Neville will have very mixed emotions after that goal

H e didn't Gnotto to cry or pull his pud.

In the end he did both. His tears were his lube.

Was going to say we beat Man. United with that substandard midfield but they actually had Casemiro and Eriksen starting v us. Fred as the passing metronome infront of the back 4 worked as well as expected....had to bring on Lindelof and sit him infront of back 4 to get some control.😂

They were miles better when they put Sancho on and moved Rashford to CF as Leeds couldn't cope with their overloads down the left. Luke Shaw is a very good LB these days aswell.

Pretty good game if short on technical quality. Leeds really need to appoint someone who can teach them how to manage a game, far too open when they lose the ball in midfield.

That Jack Clarke of Sunderland looks like a cracking little player. Could see some prem clubs being interested in him. 

He was the one who destroyed AEM in that comeback win for Leeds at VP. Moved to the premier league far too early. Likes of Patrick Roberts and Alex Pritchard are others who looked very promising 7-8 years ago but moved too early to prem and lost their way.

It's incredible when you watch tonight how mismanaged Sunderland have been over last decade. We thought we had it back. So much potential and Stadium of Light is imo one of the best away trips in English football.

Think Tony Mowbray has got them doing some really good stuff based on that one game last night, they were really unlucky with the Fulham 3rd goal (bit of naivety) and they should have had 2 more goals themselves with a tiny bit more composure. 

Honestly, they looked like the Prem side in last nights game and I couldn't believe how young they looked!

Man United v Leeds didn't have much appeal because I dislike both clubs but it turned out to be a very good game, and produced the draw I was hoping for.

Leeds were much improved and didn't resort to GBH for the sake of it, as was their previous tendency.

In the end Man United had better players to bring on, while Leeds looked knackered.

Ayling and Gnonto were outstanding for Leeds.

Man United looked like they had bought a lot of ordinary players, and really missed Eriksen - Sancho coming off the bench, made the difference.
