Erik ten Hag has criticized Manchester United’s poor start against Leeds as they fought back from two goals behind to level the game.
Leeds took the lead in under a minute when Wilfried Gnonto plowed past David De Gea from outside the box. Manchester United went for a first-half equalizer, but shortly after half-time Leeds doubled their lead after Raphael Varane converted the ball into his own net.
Manchester United fought back to level the game thanks to goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford, but United’s overall performance and poor start disappointed manager Ten Hag.
Erik ten Hag: “I’m so angry that we started a derby like this. i want to play now [against Leeds] immediately but I have to wait, my players the same. We have to save our energy and make sure we are ready for Sunday.” #MUFC

Manchester United take on Leeds at the weekend where Ten Hag will be desperate for his players to put things right against their rivals.
Casemiro served the first match of his three-game suspension against Leeds and there is no doubt the Brazilian was sorely missed.
Unfortunately, Manchester United will have to try to beat Leeds without Casemiro once again. The midfield duo of Fred and Marcel Sabitzer worked reasonably well in terms of the ball, but defensively there is a big downfall without Casemiro.
