Leeds sacked Jesse Marsch on Monday with team fourth from bottom in Premier League; Andoni Iraola is one of those under consideration to replace Marsch; ...

It also means that there are reasons to be optimistic about the future. I got to know Jesse well during his 12 months at Elland Road and it was abundantly clear he cared passionately about the club. At times there have been really promising signs, but the fans and the board at Leeds wanted more. Against Forest, although they dominated in the first half and created the better chances, a worrying pattern had started to develop which had become a huge concern for fans. West Brom head coach Carlos Corberan was one of the first names linked to the Leeds job having worked under Marcelo Bielsa at Elland Road. Seven Premier League games without a win and just two wins in the last 17 league games.

Report and free match highlights as Man Utd overturn two-goal deficit to salvage a draw against bitter rivals Leeds at Old Trafford; Wilfried Gnonto strikes ...

United miss the chance to go level on points with second-placed City, while Leeds push themselves a point clear of the relegation zone but are now winless in eight league games. The other three, understandably straightforward given that lack of training-ground time, read: 'Close middle', 'Believe', 'Be calm'. United looked lost after going behind and could not cope with Leeds' blistering intensity but defensive interventions from Lisandro Martinez kept the deficit to one. Up the other end, Bruno Fernandes' close-range effort was blocked after Rashford's cross picked him out. Fred had a long-range strike saved by Meslier as United pushed for a winner with Rashford also denied by the French goalkeeper in the closing stages from a set-piece, but Leeds clung on to leave Old Trafford with a point. Leeds came out firing in the second half and made United pay as Varane's own goal doubled the advantage, but Rashford turned the tide for a sleepy United with a header just past the hour, giving Old Trafford hope of a comeback.

Instead, Leeds held out for five minutes of stoppage time, doing well to kill our momentum on occasion, and will be the more pleased of the two sides with the outcome. His cross found the head of Rashford and the England forward guided the ball over Meslier to bag his 20th goal of the season to give the fans hope. The pair exchanged some brilliant passes in the area before the recently returned Sancho fired a low driven shot past Meslier to bring the Stretford End to its feet and take the scoreline to 2-2. And after that, United refused to lose as Sancho managed to bring the game level. Latching on to a Sabitzer pass, Pellistri got the better of Junior Firpo on the right-hand side and laid the ball off to Diogo Dalot. United responded quickly, with Wout Weghorst receiving the ball from Fernandes on the right wing, the Dutch forward picked out a long weighted pass to Rashford.

Jadon Sancho scores on his Premier League return as Manchester United recover from two goals down to draw with Leeds.

Sancho equalised after Marcus Rashford had pulled one back for the hosts.

Momentum was with those in red and Meslier had to be at his best to tip over a close-range Varane header as United pushed for a winner. It was not only a big moment on the night but in Sancho’s return to the fold after a recent period away. Having linked up well down the left, when Shaw’s cross was blocked Sancho was in the right place to take advantage and struck through a crowd past Meslier in front of the Stretford End. Introduction Facundo Pellistri laid off for Diogo Dalot to cross in for Rashford to send a crashing header past Meslier in the 62nd minute. The 19-year-old played a one-two with Patrick Bamford as he cut in from the left and sent a fizzing shot from the edge of the box that skipped into the bottom left-hand corner. Ten Hag had been unsure what to expect from the visitors in the wake of Marsch’s sacking and could not have foreseen them racing into the lead within a minute of kick-off.

That (new manager appointment) is up to the board. I thought we did enough to win the game. "Of course, in the end we were happy to win a point - but we dropped two points. It's a very bad start, unacceptable, especially in a derby you have to be ready to battle and take responsibility. But he has to work hard. "He (Sancho) is all the way back.

Getting on level terms, Manchester United equalised in the 70th minute through second half substitute Sancho. The central defender turned in Summerville’s cross, after Gnonto had played his fellow forward into the area. He picked up a pass from Bruno Fernandes, rounded Illan Meslier and shot at goal, only to see Max Wober superbly position himself on the line to deny a certain goal. On 62 minutes, the home side did get back into the match through their top-scorer, Marcus Rashford. A minute after the substitution, an excellent David De Gea save denied Pascal Struijk’s back-post header when he looked almost certain to have made it two! Luis Sinisterra pulled up with an injury and had to be replaced by Crysencio Summerville.

Jadon Sancho marked his first Premier League appearance since October with the equaliser as Manchester United fought back to draw with Leeds.

He gets a tame shot away but comes through the tightest of gaps and Meslier has to do better as it nestles into the net!

It's a brilliant header from Rashford as he meets Dalot's cross, grabbing his 20th goal of the season. It looks destined for the top corner until a fully stretched Meslier makes a one-handed stop to push it away. Less than a minute on the clock, they're on the scoresheet! The Red Devils gave themselves a mountain to climb following some slack defending and required a change in personnel and tactics 15 minutes into the second half in order to begin their fightback.

It's Manchester United, and you know, for the players, change is change. I think any staff team in the modern way picks the team together. I would say it's an exciting prospect. These four bullet points were in keeping with Skubala's comments in his pre-match press conference, in which he insisted Leeds would "have a go at However, Skubala's side defied the odds to earn a draw after receiving some to-the-point instructions from their temporary boss. With an hour played and Leeds two goals to the good, it looked as though Skubala was on his way to masterminding an unlikely victory.
