Manchester United's pre-season clash with old rivals Leeds ended in a dull 0-0 stalemate, but several talking points emerged from the Red Devils' performance at Oslo's Ullevaal Stadium.
Midfield Woes Continue
United's engine room once again looked disjointed, with Scott McTominay and Christian Eriksen struggling to impose themselves. The lack of creativity in central areas will concern Erik ten Hag as the new Premier League season approaches.
Cunha's Bright Debut
New signing Matheus Cunha made an immediate impact after coming on at half-time. The Brazilian forward showed quick feet and intelligent movement, suggesting he could solve United's attacking problems if given regular minutes.
Defensive Solidity Returns
One positive for Ten Hag was his side's defensive organisation. Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane looked comfortable together, keeping Leeds' attackers quiet throughout the 90 minutes.
Rashford's Rustiness
Marcus Rashford endured a frustrating evening, wasting United's best chance when through on goal. The England international still appears short of match sharpness after his summer break.
Pre-Season Concerns
With just weeks until the Premier League kicks off, United's lack of cutting edge against Championship opposition raises questions about their readiness for the new campaign.
