Leeds United took on Manchester United in the club’s penultimate pre-season friendly in Dublin - but how did we rate the performances?
Leeds fell behind in the 16th minute as Bryan Mbeumo got away from Jaka Bijol down the left channel and squared the ball to Joshua Zirkzee who swept a clinical finish past James Trafford.
Leeds, though, drew level just before the half hour mark with Trafford playing a part in the goal, the alert keeper clearing a long ball up to Lukas Nmecha. Dan James then intercepted and slid in Brenden Aaronson who himself applied a clinical finish to make it 1-1 in the 29th minute.
Whites boss Daniel Farke then made ten changes at the break and Leeds quickly threatened to score a second goal but the contest flattened out and ended in a 1-1 draw which meant penalties to decide the winner of the Boyle Sports Cup but the Red Devils took home the trophy after winning 5-4 on spot kicks.
Leeds United writer Lee Sobot hands out the scores.
1. James Trafford
8 - Solid debut and Leeds might have been behind at the break but for some solid Trafford saves. Distribution was also good and indeed his alert clearance led to the equaliser. Not much chance with the goal and basically a very good start. Only signed on Thursday so in such a quick turnaround we'll give him an 8. | Getty Images
2. Jayden Bogle
7 - Very bright getting forward but with Man Utd getting in behind him at times down that flank. A mixed bag but always a big threat down the right side of the pitch and also won plenty of free-kicks. | AFP via Getty Images
3. Jaka Bijol
5 - Dived in and skinned by Mbeumo for the opening goal and a very challenging time of things but got better as the half went on. Wore the captain's arm band. | Getty Images
4. Sebastian Bornauw
6 - Too high up the pitch for the opener and unable to get back in time as Mbeumo raced away. First half was generally a struggle but much better after the break as the only player who stayed on. | Getty Images
5. Tarik Muharemovic
7 - Clearly the best centre half in the opening 45 minutes and some more good tackles without quite excelling like at the weekend. | Getty Images
6. Rhys Chadwick
6 - A big night for the youngster starting at left wing back but didn't look at all out of place, defending well against Amad at times and getting forward too although needed help from James at times. Bright prospect. | Getty Images
