Jack Harrison reveals Leeds United goal secret as he sets sights on Manchester United

Jack Harrison has set his sights on Manchester United after helping Leeds to a big win over Newcastle.

Harrison rounded off the scoring with a spectacular goal as Marcelo Bielsa's men claimed a 5-2 victory against the Magpies at Elland Road on Wednesday night.

With less than 15 minutes to go, the sides were locked at 2-2 but it was Leeds who finished strongly to bounce back from successive Premier League defeats.

"We have had a few off games. We wanted to come out strong. We played our usual game," Harrison told Amazon Prime Sport.

The former Manchester City man broke from a Newcastle corner in the 88th minute and ran almost the length of the pitch before firing a 25-yard rocket into the net.

"It was just a spur of the moment thing," he said.

"I didn't think about it too much and when I do that good things start to happen.

"We are always trying to be intense and aggressive. You look at the players making those runs in the last minutes - it shows our fitness levels."

Next up for Leeds is a showdown with Man United at Old Trafford on Sunday (4.30pm).

"We are always looking at things to improve," Harrison added.

"It's a big one for us and the game against Manchester United means a lot to the fans."

Leeds are 13th in the Premier League table with 17 points from their opening 13 matches.

Man United are three points better off in ninth, with two games in hand. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men are in action against bottom-of-the-table Sheffield United at Bramall Lane tonight (Thursday).
