Rio Ferdinand names most pleasing thing he saw in Manchester United win vs Leeds

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Rio Ferdinand admits he was over the moon to watch Manchester United keep a confidence-boosting clean sheet without their first-choice centre-back pairing against Leeds United.

Having drawn with the same opponents at Old Trafford on Wednesday night, United shuffled their defensive pack for the Elland Road return on Sunday afternoon.

Only this time there was a win to celebrate. Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez started in that first showdown, as they have regularly throughout the campaign, but made way for £80million captain Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw on this occasion.

Martinez was subbed on later in the piece with the score deadlocked.
