The best pictures as Leeds United took on Manchester United in Australia

It wasn't the best half for Leeds United in the first half of their first pre-season game down under.

Bitter rivals Manchester United scored through Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford to take a commanding 2-0 advantage going into the second half.

A fully-rotated XI from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer doubled the scoreline in the second half as Phil Jones headed in a corner before Anthony Martial rounded things off from the penalty spot.

It wasn't all that easy for the Premier League side, with Leeds United coming close on a number of occasions in the first half. The best chance fell for Patrick Bamford from close range but he was denied by Romero, although Marcelo Bielsa's side offered less going forward after the break.

Fans on social media were not pleased about the performance at the back and called upon the club to sign a new defender in place of Pontus Jansson.
