Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho posts Instagram message after Leeds draw

Alejandro Garnacho has posted an Instagram message after Manchester United's draw with Leeds on Wednesday.

United fought back from two goals down to draw with Leeds but it felt like a missed opportunity as they failed to take the chance to draw level on points with Manchester City. Wilfried Gnonto opened the scoring within the opening minute and a Raphael Varane own goal doubled the visitors' lead just after the break.

The introduction of Jadon Sancho turned the game on its head as he had a hand in Marcus Rashford's goal before grabbing the equaliser himself with a slick move and finish.

Sancho was introduced alongside Facundo Pellistri just before the hour mark with Wout Weghorst and Garnacho making way. The promising winger was naive at times in the match and missed a great opportunity to score before being hooked.

It's another occasion in which Garnacho has struggled to have as much impact from the off as he has as a substitute and he now hasn't scored since his dramatic winner against Fulham back in November.

The Argentine posted an image on Instagram of him punching the floor in frustration and another with his head in his hands along with the caption: "When you don't understand what is happening, remember that God is in control. I trust the plan you have for me."

Given United's injury list with Antony and Anthony Martial sidelined, Garnacho is bound to get another opportunity to impress before too long but Sancho may have earned himself his first start since October when United face Leeds again on Sunday.
