Leeds United supporters hail defensive stalwart pair after Manchester United performance

Leeds United supporters have praised defensive pair Max Wober and Luke Ayling for their performances against Manchester United in the 2-2 draw at Old Trafford.

The Austrian international was handed the highest average rating out of any Whites player by the fans, receiving an 8.5 out of 10 rating while Ayling was given an 8.0 out of 10.

Both players were vital in sharing the points between the two sides, with Wober heading a United chance off the goal line, while Ayling won 17 duels, the most by any Leeds player for over four years.

Other high scorers were Wilfried Gnonto thanks to his opening goal after 56 seconds for which he was handed an 8.4 rating while American midfield duo Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie were given 7.4 and 7.0 ratings respectively.

Fans were very happy with the side overall, with the lowest rating for a starting player given to Patrick Bamford with a 6.2 out of 10, still a rating above the colloquial 'average' of 6.0.

Luis Sinisterra did receive a 5.2 out of 10, but only lasted eight minutes on the pitch after being forced off with what seemed to be a hamstring issue.
