Manchester United in unwanted 40-year first as miserable away record continues

Wait 5 sec.

Manchester United stooped to a new low as they fell behind to Leeds in their 1-1 draw in Sunday’s Roses derby.After a goalless first half at Elland Road, Brenden Aaronson broke the deadlock in the 62nd minute, as he raced clear of Ayden Heaven to put the Whites 1-0 up.GettyBrendan Aaronson wheeled away after giving Leeds the lead against Man United[/caption]GettyAyden Heaven was beaten for pace as the Red Devils shipped the first goal[/caption]It sparked jubilant scenes from the home crowd, and piled the misery on the Red Devils, who recorded an unwanted first in the process.By conceding to their Yorkshire rivals, Ruben Amorim‘s side have now conceded in 15 straight away league games – the first time in Premier League history.This marked the first time since the 1985/86 campaign that United have shipped goals in as many consecutive games on the road.Between September 1985 and April 1986, Ron Atkinson’s side recorded the same feat, but fortunately for United’s current crop, the disappointment didn’t last long.The visitors hit back almost immediately, as Matheus Cunha equalised three minutes later after being played in by Joshua Zirkzee.And the Brazilian’s strike was enough to spare United’s blushes, as neither side were able to find a winner in the last 25 minutes.This saw the two teams play out a draw at Elland Road for the first time since April 2021, but the result is unlikely to please the visitors.Breaking news.
