MATHEUS Cunha rescued a point for Manchester United in a 1-1 draw at Leeds in the Premier League on Sunday. The Brazil forward equalised for United after US International Brenden Aaronson put Leeds in front in the second half atEllandRoad.

 

Aaronson opened the scoring in the 62nd minute, but Cunha leveled three minutes later. Cunha was close to firing a winner late in the match with a curling shot from outside the box that struck the outside of the post. United have lost just two of their last 14 games in thel eague, but six draws during that run have seen Ruben Amorim’s team struggle to keep pace with the top three in the standings.

 

Leeds are unbeaten in seven games and went ahead when Aaronson raced past United defender Ayden Heaven and shot low into the far corner. Cunha scored his third goal in his last five games when latching onto a pass from substitute Joshua Zirkzee and sliding as hotpast Leeds goal keeper Lucas Perri.
