Leeds 1 Manchester United 1Joshua Zirkzee’s Manchester United career is almost certainly coming to an end, but it is doing so on a personal upswing. A goalscorer in the disappointing draw against Wolves on Tuesday, Zirkzee was a goalmaker as a point was salvaged at Elland Road. Introduced immediately after the visitors had lost a soft goal, the Netherlands forward’s first significant contribution was to play a perfectly weighted through pass for Matheus Cunha to roll an equaliser past Leeds goalkeeper Lucas Perri. Leeds United (3-5-2): Perri 7; Bornauw 7 (Gnonto 80, 6), Bijol 7, Struijk 7; Justin 7, Stach 8, Gruev 7 (Tanaka 80, 6), Aaronson 8 (Piroe 87, 7), Gudmundsson 7; Calvert-Lewin 7, Okafor 7 (Nmecha 75, 6). Booked: None Manchester United (3-4-2-1): Lammens 6; Yoro 7 (Zirkzee 63, 7), Heaven 7, Martinez 7; Dalot 7, Ugarte 7, Casemiro 7, Shaw 7; Dorgu 6, Cunha 8; Sesko 5.
