Leeds United starting XI:

James Trafford: Brave enough to race 30 yards out of his box to clear when failure to execute would have been disastrous. Leeds defenders know they can give him the ball under pressure. 7

James Justin: Swung over a couple of early crosses to test the visitors' defence but caught on his heels by Mbeumo for Man Utd goal. 6

Nico Elvedi: Near-post header almost put Leeds in front. 7

Tarik Muharemovic: Calm in possession but visitors' set-up left him with no-one to mark at times. Major threat at the other end though, with header setting up Calvert-Lewin equaliser. 7

Jayden Bogle: An attacking threat from wing-back as Leeds pushed forward and had shot saved by Lammens. 7

Ethan Ampadu: Lucky to get away with no card for a late tackle on Mbeumo at start. Usual assured display. 6

Ao Tanaka (off 79, Longstaff): Maybe a little too cautious at times. Got into the game as Leeds pressed after leveller. Long-range effort over. 6

Gabriel Gudmundsson: Caught Andrey Santos from behind and was booked. Did really well to force Amad back when the Ivorian wanted to run free on goal. 7

Anton Stach: Wasn't able to control midfield duels in opening period but second half was better. 6

Noah Okofor (off 72, Nmecha): No chance to repeat Old Trafford heroics. Lashed a second-half shot over and poor pass when he might have released Calvert-Lewin. 6

Dominic Calvert-Lewin: Grew into the game after subdued start. One first-half header wide, another straight at Lammens in second. Strong enough to control and apply finish to level. 8

Leeds substitutes:

Lukas Nmecha (on 72, Okafor): Worked hard to try and create. 5

Sean Longstaff (on 79, Tanaka): 6

Subs not used: Zetterer, Wilson, Aaronson, Bijol, Bahoya, Bard, Gruev.
