Inches away from Leeds going 2-0 up. Jack Harrison swings a cross in following a short corner and Pascal Struijk just doesn't get his header right and David de Gea tips it away.

Leeds are ripping Manchester United apart here. The pitch opens up and Wilfried Gnonto just can't find Jack Harrison with a return ball.

Gareth: Team plays rubbish for months. Come to Old Trafford play like worldbeaters from the first second. ‘Twas always thus.

Tom: Yet again Fernandes gives away possession.

VN: ManU were not switched on early on - that is an inexcusable goal - tempo will be high for the first 20 mins

Luke Shaw just manages to clear before Patrick Bamford can control the ball in the box.

The goal has been changed to 55 seconds now, the second-earliest goal scored by an away player at Old Trafford in the Premier League, after Edin Dzeko's strike in March 2014 for Manchester City (43 seconds).

Luis Sinisterra's day is done. Leeds bring on Crysencio Summerville, who can't have thought he'd be coming on after eight minutes with Leeds 1-0 up.

Leeds are temporarily down to 10 men as winger Luis Sinisterra goes off for some treatment. He's walking round the pitch with the physio.

I signed Wilfried Gnonto in fantasy football this week, in a very rare good signing.

Manchester United started sloppily with a mis-placed pass and poor control and they have been punished.

Wilfried Gnonto was given too much room outside the area and buried his shot into the bottom corner.

The Leeds fans to my right are making a fair bit of noise now.

No response yet from Manchester United to going behind early on. Leeds are playing with a real confidence.

That was Leeds' fastest Premier League goal since 12 January 2002 when Alan Smith netted after 26 seconds in a 2-1 loss at Newcastle United.

Give it Skubala-y til the end of the season?

That goal has been clocked at 55 seconds!

The battle of the Uniteds is under way.

There is heavy interest from Qatar in having some kind of stake in the Premier League and it is fairly obvious Manchester United is a prestigious purchase.

However, Uefa regulations prevent Qatari Sports Investments doing a deal because they also own Paris St-Germain.

The big question is whether the move could come through the Qatar Investment Authority or any other investment fund, or whether that would be regarded as being too close to QSI.

UEFA have allowed RB Leipzig and RB Salzburg in the same competition at the same time - they played against each other in the Europa League in 2018 - so there is some kind of precedent.

However, no bid has been made yet.

The Raine Group, who are handling the potential sale of United by the Glazer family, want to narrow the process down this month before concluding business in March.

Time will tell whether they hit those deadlines.

The omens aren't good for Leeds...

Their last league win at Old Trafford was on 28 February 1981.

Leeds' only win in their last 17 Premier League games against Manchester United was 1-0 at Elland Road in September 2002, when Harry Kewell scored the winner.

They have conceded 11 goals in their two games at Old Trafford since returning to the top flight, losing 6-2 in December 2020 and 5-1 in August 2021.

It turns out Casemiro's actual name is spelt Casimiro. Watch the video below to find out why it's misspelt.

This game should have been played in September but was postponed because of the Queen's funeral.

That also gives this the odd quirk of not being on UK TV because that game wasn't due to be.

Leeds under-21 head coach Michael Skubala says the Whites' tactics will be virtually the same against Manchester United as if Jesse Marsch was still in the dugout.

Skubala, along with assistant head coach Chris Armas and development coach Paco Gallardo, will lead the team at Old Trafford on Wednesday and he admits it's a tight turnaround from Marsch's departure on Monday.

"We've got 24 hours," said Skubala. "We've got one session this afternoon so some things will have to be the same.

"There may be a few little tweaks in how we want to play but fundamentally we need to make sure the players understand the game plan."
