"It wasn't our best game, football-wise; it was a bit scruffy. You could see a few key players were out, and we were a bit tired today. Nevertheless, we found a way. We forced an opener, so for that I'm a bit disappointed, but if I calm down, I have to say it's a fair point. It's a good point, another point on our tally, and extend the gap a little bit. Resilience in a difficult game for us, but I'm still a bit disappointed it wasn't three points."
"Matheus Cunha dragged the visitors level at Elland Road three minutes after Brenden Aaronsen's opener just after the hour mark. Cunha hit the woodwork late on, but Leeds had the better chances in the closing stages, with Noah Okafor and Joel Piroe going close. In-form Dominic Calvert-Lewin had hit the post in the first half, too, but Farke, whose team are now eight points clear of the bottom three, felt it was important not to be too down about only picking up a point against Ruben Amorim's team."
Leeds United drew 1-1 with Manchester United at Elland Road after Brenden Aaronsen opened the scoring and Matheus Cunha equalised three minutes later. Cunha struck the woodwork late and Leeds had the better chances late on through Noah Okafor and Joel Piroe; Dominic Calvert-Lewin had also hit the post in the first half. The draw extended Leeds' unbeaten Premier League run to seven matches and left them eight points clear of the relegation zone. Manager Daniel Farke described the point as fair given injuries, fatigue and a congested schedule, praising the team's resilience despite disappointment at missing three points.
