Three things Ralf Rangnick got right as Man Utd overcome Leeds - but one he got wrong
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? Let us know in the comments section.Harry Maguire has been on the back end of some heavy criticism this season,

West Ham ‘make huge £50m move for Leeds star Kalvin Phillips’ to partner Declan Rice
West Ham are set to make a sensational swoop for Kalvin Phillips, who they see as the ideal partner for Declan Rice.The Hammers intend for the Leeds maestro to team up with Rice, in a move that would shock both sets of fans.They set to make a record-breaking £50 million bid to team up Kalvin Phillips with his England teammate Declan Rice, according to The Sun.It would be an offer from entirely out the blue - and one that, if it came off, would certainly appease a large majority of West Ham fans.An offer has already been sent, according to reporters, but David Moyes side are prepared to wait until the summer to get their man.Phillips has been out of action for Leeds, currently recovering from a hamstring operation. But this has not deterred West Ham from making such an incredible move.Moyes is a huge fan of the 26-year-old and sees him as a great signing to push up the table into that top-four spot.If the move materialises, the Irons will have one of the best central midfield pairings in the Premier League.Marcelo Bielsa, who developed Phillips to the player he is today with thorough fitness training, will not want to lose one of his key assets.But while West Ham are in the ascendancy, Leeds are in a relegation battle, their loss to Newcastle last week exacerbating the situation further.Rice has been heavily linked with moves away from the London Stadium, with Chelsea being considered the frontrunners before - while more recently, Manchester United have been on his tail.Can you see this transfer coming off? Tell us in the comments section.Gary Neville recently lauded Rice, writing on Linkedin that his previous perceptions of the player was wrong.He said: Don’t go too early.
