Leeds United player ratings with Poveda decent but Struijk and Greenwood poor in Man Utd loss

Leeds United (4-2-3-1)

13 Kristoffer Klaesson

Made the one save he had to, but problems with his distribution shone through. A clean sheet's a clean sheet though. 5

37 Cody Drameh

Didn't always see the ball come down his side of the field. Combative and typically decent one vs one. 6

62 Jeremiah Mullen

Shaky at points with the ball at his feet. Daniel Farke has clearly instructed his centre-backs to be brave on the ball. 5

6 Liam Cooper (c)

Generally very solid. Some difficult moments as he lost possession with so few passing options open to him. 7

33 Leo Hjelde

Didn't see a huge amount of the ball. Allowed Amad Diallo too much space to consistently cut inside onto his left foot. 6

46 Jamie Shackleton

Looked overrun and outgunned in the middle. Guilty of one notably sloppy pass which was picked off inside the Leeds box. 5

18 Darko Gyabi

Some strong challenges caught the eye, but heavy touches were seized upon by the opposition. 6

27 Ian Poveda

Possibly United's best attacking outlet of the first half. Bright and lively, carried the ball with a threat. Sometimes went down blind alleys. 7

42 Sam Greenwood

Really struggled in the congested centre of the field. Never seemed to retain possession when it came into him. 4

23 Luis Sinisterra

Understandably well off his best fitness level, but showed his quality in neat pockets. 6

24 Georginio Rutter

Impressive. Held the ball well at points. Showed decent vision with some of his through-balls. A start. 6

Substitutes

40 Dani van den Heuvel (on for Klaesson h/t)

Distribution did not stand out like Klaesson's until later on as he began to make some errors. Sprang off his line well to evade a one vs one opportunity. Fairly helpless for the goal. 5

55 Harry Christy

2 Luke Ayling (on for Hjelde h/t)

Steady away. No real drama in his corner of the field. Asleep for the second goal. 5

9 Patrick Bamford (on for Rutter h/t)

Some decent runs in behind. Not always found by his team-mates. 6

16 Sonny Perkins

20 Daniel James (on for Poveda h/t)

Lacking a final product when he got into the final third. Left his side in the lurch with some dallying after a corner broke down. 5

21 Pascal Struijk (on for Cooper h/t)

Major error for the opening goal. Caught out of position with a heavy touch and punished. 4

26 Lewis Bate (on for Shackleton h/t)

Occasional passes from deep into space caught the eye. 6

30 Joe Gelhardt (on for Greenwood h/t)

One memorable moment of skill got some bums off seats, but no real say on the match. 6

34 Diogo Monteiro

49 Mateo Joseph (on for Sinisterra h/t)

Some bright dribbling in off the left flank. 6

52 Kris Moore (on for Mullen h/t)

One of the better Leeds players in the second half. Brought the ball out from the back with confidence and managed it well, generally. 7

63 Archie Gray (on for Gyabi h/t)

One well-hit shot from outside the box impressed, but pretty quiet. 6
