Manchester United's winless streak extended to six matches — their worst since 2018–19 — after a 1–1 draw at Leeds United. Bryan Mbeumo scored his fourth goal in seven Premier League games for the hosts, while only Bruno Fernandes has netted more than once for United this season. Manager Michael Carrick said he wore headphones to block out external noise after Lisandro Martínez criticised sporting director Jason Wilcox and the club's summer recruitment. Martínez started but left at half-time with a thigh injury; Matthijs de Ligt remained on the bench due to fitness concerns. Diogo Dalot became the fifth different left-back starter this season, underscoring the lack of cover for Luke Shaw.
United sit 13th in the table. Carrick insisted the draw felt like a "fresh start" and expressed confidence the side can embark on a winning run. Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher warned on Sky Sports that accepting such results lowers standards for a club of United's stature.
