"Matheus Cunha slotted in a rapid equaliser for the striker's fourth goal of the season to earn Manchester United a draw at Leeds United in the Premier League in both sides' opening match of 2026. Brenden Aaronson capitalised in ponderous defending by Ayden Heaven to beat the defender to a through ball and fire the hosts in front in the 62nd minute, putting the hosts on course for successive home wins."
"Cunha found the far corner of the net from inside the box on the right three minutes later and would have had a second but for his low first-time shot from the edge of the penalty area hitting a post 10 minutes from time. Depleted United thought they had gone ahead early on when Cunha volleyed in from a Casemiro pass, only for the goal to be disallowed for offside."
Matheus Cunha scored a rapid equaliser to level for Manchester United after Brenden Aaronson put Leeds ahead in the 62nd minute. Cunha's goal was his fourth of the season and came three minutes after Aaronson's strike; Cunha later hit the post with a low first-time shot. United had an earlier goal by Cunha disallowed for offside from a Casemiro pass. Benjamin Sesko missed a presentable chance inside the six-yard box from a Joshua Zirkzee cross. Leeds extended their unbeaten run to seven matches and sit eight points clear of the relegation zone. United have won once in their last five league games.
