Since September 2002 Leeds have not beaten Manchester United in the English league.
Tonight (Sunday) with quite a few injured players including Calvin Phillips, Liam Cooper and Patrick Bumford, Marcelo Bailesa's side hoped to break the statistics and gave a big fight to the Red Devils, but it was not enough to achieve a prestigious victory.
United, who will face Atletico Madrid on Wednesday in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, can be pleased with the points in the battle for a place in the top four but are very worried about their defensive game.
In the 34th minute came United's first.
Luke Shaw raised a corner, Maguire rose high and slammed into the net the Red Devils' 0-1.
Deep into the extra time of the first half, the visitors went up to 0: 2.
Jesse Lingard raised to the field in the bursting attack, and Bruno Fernandez slammed in with no problem.
In the 53rd minute, Leeds managed to return to the game when it shrank to 2: 1.
Rafinha apparently tried to raise but his ball went directly to David de Gea's connections.
Less than a minute passed and Leeds equalized to 2: 2 which put United in shock.
Daniel James, who arrived in Leeds this summer from Old Trafford, passed a wide ball to Rafinha who rolled without a problem into the net.

When it looked like it might look like a huge turnaround, United once again took the lead in the 70th minute.
A great double pass between Fred and Jadon Sancho ended in the Brazilian's goal.
Towards the end Athoni Alenga set up the result of the game after Fernandez left him the ball and the talented youngster just had to roll into the net.
2: 4 at the end for United.
UP.
THE.
REDS!
