Leeds United vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Follow live coverage as Leeds United face Manchester United in the Premier League today.

Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.

It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.

It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Manchester United leapfrog Manchester City into second and move to just five points behind leaders Arsenal, though their City rivals kick-off shortly. Next up for them is a trip to Barcelona for the Europa League play-off. Leeds stay just above the relegation zone in 17th and have a huge match next weekend as they travel to Everton, who sit just below them.

Manchester United leave it late to beat Leeds 2-0. For the majority of the game, Leeds were arguably the better side. De Gea marked his 400th Premier League performance with a clean sheet, but he was called into making big saves to keep out Bamford, Summerville and Gnonto over the 90 minutes. The Red Devils struck the bar in the second half thanks to Dalot's powerful strike before Rashford and Garnacho scored twice in the last 10 minutes to seal the win. Rashford and Weghorst also had a goal each disallowed after that to deny them a bigger victory.

OFFSIDE! Fernandes swings a corner into the box and Elanga rises high to head it on. Maguire tries to bundle it towards goal, but it's Weghorst who volleys it over Meslier only for the flag to deny him too.

OFFSIDE! Fernandes slides a good throughball into Rashford, and he has acres of space ahead of him. He bursts into the box before keeping his cool and firing past Meslier for his second of the match. The flag goes up, and VAR confirms he was offside.

15:50 , admin

CHANCE! The Leeds fans are asking for a handball against Fred in the box, but the referee says no as Manchester United break on the counter. Garnacho sees a shot blocked by Koch before Fernandes follows in, but Meslier holds his effort.

15:49 , admin

BLOCK! Greenwood's set-pieces are causing some real problems for the visitors. His corner is swung deep to the far post where Maguire blocks Gnonto's volley. Aaronson reaches the rebound and hits it first time, but it deflects wide off Shaw.

15:47 , admin

Just before the game restarts again, Leeds are making another change. It's McKennie that's taken off, with Greenwood replacing him.

15:46 , admin

GARNACHO SCORES! Gnonto is caught on the ball this time, and Weghorst's first thought is to poke it forward for Garnacho. He goes around Koch to get in front of the defender and then fires his shot across goal from the left of the box to pick out the far bottom corner. 2-0 United!

Ayling has his pocket picked by Rashford, and he switches it out to Garnacho on the right. He lifts a good cross into the far post, but nobody is there for United.

The Red Devils are closing Leeds down higher upfield now as they try to protect their lead. The hosts are trying to play out from the back, but are finding it more difficult than before.

15:42 , admin

RASHFORD SCORES! It's a brilliant switch out to Shaw on the left by Sabitzer and he holds off Summerville long enough to curl a cross in. Rashford gets between Wober and Firpo and thumps his header past Meslier into the far side of the net. VAR has a quick check for a possible offside. He's on, it counts! 1-0 Manchester United!

GOOD SAVE! Again, Leeds look to their right side to make something happen as Rutter dispossesses Shaw and it rolls through for Summerville. He hits his low shot across goal from a tight angle, and De Gea keeps him out with his legs again.

Another patient passage of play fizzles out for the Red Devils and Leeds break on the counter again. Summerville can't find space down the right, and Gnonto takes over, only to hit his cross straight at Shaw.

The visitors are struggling to pass their way through a compact Leeds shape. Rashford slides it into Garnacho, who flicks it back into the space for Fred, but they're not on the same wavelength, and Rutter comes away with it.

SAVE! Harrison's corner is flicked on at the near post, and Ayling is unmarked at the back. He goes for the spectacular with an overhead kick but sends it straight at De Gea.

15:30 , admin

Firpo wriggles away from challenges from Rashford and Fred, before looking for Summerville down the right. He gets a yard on Shaw, but the left-back sticks out a leg to block his cross for a corner.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

15:28 , admin

Weghorst's clearance is headed down by McKennie and he sets Gnonto away down the left again. He bursts down the wing before cutting inside and taking aim from the edge of the D, but it's straight at De Gea.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

15:26 , admin

WIDE! It's better from Manchester United here as they seem to be finding their rhythm. Weghorst has his back to goal when Fernandes picks him out, so he tees up Fred instead, but he curls his shot just wide of the far top corner.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

15:25 , admin

OFF THE BAR! The visitors are keeping Leeds penned back in their own box at the moment as Shaw knocks it through to Garnacho. He checks back to square it to Dalot, whose powerful shot beats Meslier but smacks off the crossbar.

Fernandes plays a wonderful crossfield pass out to Fred, but Ayling nicks it off him and Leeds set off on the counter. Harrison surges down the right before looking for Bamford, but it deflects out for a corner off Shaw.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

15:16 , admin

The Red Devils are enjoying their first real spell of possession in the second half, and Fred sweeps it out to Rashford on the left. He cuts inside, but he's crowded off it by two Leeds players, and the hosts come away with it.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

15:14 , admin

This time, Dalot decides to take no chances by going long for Fernandes to chase. He's held off by Wober, taking a hand to the face, and the medical team come on to give him treatment. He's okay to carry on.

CLOSE! Harrison's free-kick is only half-cleared by Fernandes, and it falls to Ayling on the edge of the box. He hits it on the half-volley and it goes through Shaw's legs, with the deflection helping it just wide.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

15:11 , admin

Manchester United have not made a good start to the second half. De Gea's pass out to Malacia is poor and Summerville sticks out a leg to intercept. He threads it through to Bamford, but he gets it caught under his feet and Fred recovers.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

15:09 , admin

WIDE! It's Maguire that gives it away with a sloppy pass this time, and Summerville carries it forward before knocking it out to Bamford. He tees up Harrison on the right of the box, but he fires his first-time shot wide.

GOOD SAVE! Leeds are looking to make a quick start to the half. They dispossess Manchester United high upfield, and Adams slides in Summerville on the edge of the box. He drills a low shot at the near post and De Gea pushes it wide.

There weren't too many chances from either side, though Skubala will arguably be the happier of the two managers. Leeds pressed high upfield and caused the visitors some real problems with the high press. Ten Hag's frustration was clear on the sidelines, and he'll be asking for much more from his team in an attacking sense in the second half.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

It's goalless at the break between Leeds and Manchester United. Just like at Old Trafford on Wednesday, Leeds almost made a quick start, though this time within four minutes, as De Gea kept out Bamford with his legs before Summerville blazed over. The latter forced a good save out of De Gea just before the break too when he was denied from a tight angle. All of Manchester United's shots have fallen to Fernandes, with his best coming in stoppage time, though Meslier made a good save.

CLOSE! Shaw swings the resulting corner into the box and it skims Bamford's head before hitting Wober's side. Rashford is running onto it at the far post, but can't get the contact he needs before it bounces wide.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

14:48 , admin

GOOD SAVE! Wober is slow to pick out a pass and Fernandes bursts forward to cut it out before driving into the box. He's one-on-one with Meslier and keeps his shot low, but the keeper denies him by sticking out a leg.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

14:46 , admin

GREAT SAVE! It's lifted over the top and Summerville watches it all the way onto his boot before firing a shot across goal. De Gea is already on his way down but gets a strong hand to it. It hits Maguire and Malacia is able to clear it properly.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

14:45 , admin

De Gea goes long and it's flicked on towards Rashford. Wober intercepts and Malacia just clips Summerville's heels in his attempts to keep it alive for Manchester United.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

14:43 , admin

Rashford stayed down holding his shin after being caught by McKennie. He requires treatment but is quickly back to his feet to carry on.

SAVE! Leeds don't clear their lines properly and Fernandes drives into the box again. His shot takes a deflection off Koch which makes it easier for Meslier. Fernandes is asking for handball, but it was tight to his chest.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

14:38 , admin

As Malacia held off Adams, he caught the midfielder in the nose with his arm. He requires treatment, and after being patched up and handed a change of shirt, he can carry on.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

14:37 , admin

Shaw knocks a free-kick back to Maguire, who doesn't realise Harrison is hovering, and he's dispossessed. He tracks back with the midfielder and does well to stick out a leg and stop his run in the box.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

14:34 , admin

Frustration is starting to get the better of some players here. Ayling accidentally knocked the ball out of play before walking away with it to prevent a quick throw-in. Malacia isn't happy and pulls him back, so the referee has to step in to calm things down.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

14:34 , admin

Harrison steps up to deliver this free-kick too, but it's just too high for Bamford. It falls to Ayling on the right, but he gets it all wrong as he slices it straight out of play.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

14:31 , admin

Dalot isn't being given any time on the ball by Gnonto, and though he manages to keep the ball in play, he then gives it away. Sabitzer fouls the Italian as he attempts to make up for it, and Leeds have a free-kick on the left.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

It's a very stop-start game at the moment due to the number of fouls happening. Fernandes intercepts Leeds' latest attack and is caught as he attempts to clear it.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

14:26 , admin

Sabitzer sticks out leg to stop Bamford from turning past him, and Leeds have another free-kick through the middle. Again, Harrison steps up, but Maguire meets this one.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

14:24 , admin

It's a sloppy clearance from Wober, and Sancho cuts it out. Leeds are quick to drop back into their shape though, and the visitors can't take advantage of it.

WIDE! Sabitzer lifts it over the top for Sancho to chase down the right and he squeezes it between two Leeds players to pick out Fernandes. He runs onto it, drilling a low shot across goal first time, but sends it well wide.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

14:19 , admin

Firpo slides in on Sancho, and while he gets a slight touch on the ball, he catches the winger with his trailing leg. He's shown the first booking of the game.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

14:18 , admin

The Red Devils are still patiently working it upfield from the back until Maguire threads it through the middle to Weghorst. He spins and has runners ahead of him, but again, the flag brings an attack to an end.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

14:18 , admin

Leeds United vs Manchester United

14:15 , admin

Fred's trailing leg sends Harrison sprawling, and Leeds have a free-kick in a good position. Harrison steps up but hits his low shot straight into the wall.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

14:13 , admin

Leeds are moving the ball quickly upfield every time they win it back, and United are struggling to deal with the pace they're setting. Firpo swings in an early cross this time, but it's too close to De Gea.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

14:11 , admin

Ayling just manages to keep it in play down the right, and slides in Summerville, who gets behind Malacia. His cross is hooked away by Maguire as the offside flag goes up against the youngster.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

14:09 , admin

Fred manages to poke it through to Weghorst, who squares it to Fernandes before continuing his run. He slides it through to Dalot down the right, but his low cross is blocked by Wober.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

14:07 , admin

Adams' pass is behind Summerville and it allows Malacia to intercept. He attempts to carry it forward when McKennie slides in with a heavy tackle and the left-back bangs his head on the way down, needing treatment.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

14:05 , admin

GOOD SAVE! Ayling plays it out to the left from the free-kick and Wober keeps it in play, volleying a cross in. Bamford helps it on and De Gea denies him with his feet. Summerville runs onto the rebound but blasts it over the bar.

Leeds United vs Manchester United

14:04 , admin

Manchester United are seeing a lot of the ball early on here, though it's all in their own half. Whenever they try to move it forward, Leeds step in with a tackle, which is greeted eagerly by the crowd.
