Matheus Cunha saved Manchester United from a rare defeat against fierce rivals Leeds as the Brazilian's equaliser salvaged a 1-1 draw at Elland Road yesterday.

Rubem Amorim's side trailed to Brenden Aaronson's second half strike before Cunha dragged them level moments later.

In a bitter rivalry keenly felt among two feuding fan-bases, Leeds have now gone eight matches without a win over United since an FA Cup triumph at Old Trafford in 2010.

United's failure to take all three points cost them a chance to move into the Premier League's top four.
