Manchester United 4-0 Leeds United: 5 Talking Points

#4 United have deadly pace on the counter

Manchester United v Leeds United - Pre-Season Friendly

In the first half, both the goals that United scored were reminiscent of the way they played when Solskjaer first took over and now, finally, the players seem to have bought into his system. The first one was a brilliant goal as Pogba picked out Wan-Bissaka on the overlap with an inch-perfect through ball and the young Englishman crossed it for Greenwood who finished it wonderfully.

The second goal was scored with frightening pace. United were defending in their own box before McTominay screamed forward with the ball who found Rashford and the 21-year-old put two Leeds defenders on the ground before slotting it in. It's only the initial looks, but I can say this United team can frighten anyone with their pace. Speaking of which.....

#3 Daniel James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka impress again

So far, the two signings that United have made fit perfectly into Solskjaer's system, especially James who is clocking some brilliant pace. The young Welshman hit the post against Leeds but what he did in the lead up to that is exactly why United signed him.

James was helping out the defense on the right-hand side before Pogba intercepted and found Rashford and James put on a brilliant sprint, getting the ball in a goalscoring position before hitting the post. Also, Wan-Bissaka has improved United's right side massively.

In the two games so far, he hasn't been beaten once and he also managed to get an assist today. So far so good for James and Wan-Bissaka.
