Erik ten Hag's half-time team talk that rescued a point as Leeds hand Newcastle the advantage

Erik ten Hag has blasted Manchester United's players for their dismal first-half performance against Leeds United at Old Trafford. The Dutch head coach didn't mince his words as managerless Leeds took the lead going into the break.

A brilliant striker from Wilfried Gnonto gave the struggling Whites the lead, before substitute Crysencio Summerville forced Raphael Varane into an own goal added a second immediately after the restart. Ten Hag was left disappointed by the manner in which his side conceded.

At one stage, it looked as though Leeds would end their 41-year winless streak at Old Trafford, but Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho scored to ensure a share of the spoils. The result hands Eddie Howe and Newcastle and opportunity to move back above the Red Devils on Saturday with a win at Bournemouth.
