Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane believes Jadon Sancho is starting to grow into his role at Old Trafford following his performance in Sunday afternoon's 4-2 win over Leeds.

Bruno Fernandes is delighted Manchester United have finally been able to score from a set-piece in the Premier League this season.

Anthony Elanga has shared a message with Manchester United fans after recovering from an alarming flashpoint during the 4-2 victory over Leeds.

An investigation has been launched by the Football Association (FA) after Manchester United prospect Anthony Elanga was struck by an object thrown from the Elland Road stands.

Jadon Sancho sent a cheeky two-word response to Bruno Fernandes as the pair celebrated Manchester United’s win over Leeds.

Manchester United fan-base found themselves double taking on Harry Maguire’s twitter photo. The United captain tweeted a photograph of himself celebrating his opening goal in Ralf Rangnick’s side’s 4-2 away victory against fierce rivals Leeds United.

Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has highlighted the progress that his team has made following their 4-2 win over Leeds United at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon.

Manchester United attacker Anthony Elanga looked as though he was hit by an object during his side’s 4-2 win over Leeds.In the first game in front of fans between the two at Elland Road since October 2003, the teenager dropped to the floor holding his head after Fred gave United a 3-2 lead in the 70th minute and the team celebrated by the corner flag. It looked as though the object was a coin thrown by a fan.Elanga, who was only on the pitch for three minutes after Ralf Rangnick substituted him on, was hurt by the object and subsequently received medical attention.

Bruno Fernandes was hailed by Manchester United supporters for his involvement in their fourth goal against Leeds on Sunday as Anthony Elanga put the game to bed.The Portugal international midfielder played a key role as Ralf Rangnick's side threw away a two-goal lead before adding another two goals at Elland Road.His most notable impact after scoring the second of the game was in setting up Elanga to make the score 4-2 after 87 minutes, having flicked the ball over Pascal Struijk before knocking the ball past Luke Ayling.With Elanga then sliding the ball past the despairing Illan Meslier, supporters went back to credit Fernandes as he gets back to his best in the Premier League.One fan wrote: "What a brilliant player he is. That flick was exceptional!!"With a second adding: "Don’t wanna jinx but Bruno of old is back."A third continued: "Imagine not rating Bruno Fernandes, phenomenal player."With a fourth concluding: "I don’t think any midfielder can do this in any league."Will Manchester United finish in the top four this season?

Harry Maguire has revealed that Manchester United players were told they had to score more goals in order to defeat Leeds United at half-time.

Ralf Rangnick made a number of eyebrow-raising changes ahead of the eagerly anticipated Premier League clash but his tinkering just about paid off.Harry Maguire opened the scoring at a sodden Elland Road with his first Red Devils goal in over a year to silence his doubters before Bruno Fernandes headed in a second on the stroke of half-time.Two Leeds goals in the space of a minute then flipped the game on its head.Rodrigo's mishit cross floated over a hapless David De Gea before Raphinha sparked bedlam at Elland Road tapping in from a drilled Dan James cross.United then reclaimed the lead thanks to Fred's smashed effort before Anthony Elanga sealed the vital three points for United late on.Daily Star Sport takes a look at three big calls that Rangnick got right and the one he got wrong in the crucial win...And three things he got right...Paul Pogba has made an impressive return from injury in recent weeks and looked a powerful presence in the first half against Leeds on Sunday.It was therefore a surprise to see the Frenchman pulled off after 67 minutes with Marcelo Bielsa's side having fought back from two goals down.Rangnick replaced him for Fred and it proved to be an inspired substitution.The Brazilian smashed home after receiving the ball from Sancho to regain United's lead a matter of moments after his entrance.While many questioned the decision to make the midfield change with the scores locked at 2-2, it proved to be the decisive moment.Anthony Elanga then added to Rangnick's substitute delight, grabbing the fourth late on with a slotted finish.Will Manchester United finish in the top four this season?
