Man United's U21s were defeated 2-1 by Leeds the Premier League 2 on Friday but two midfielders emerged with credit.
Hannibal Mejbri had been fouled more than any other Manchester United player on the pitch and he kept on pulling the strings.
"Come on Leeds," was the shout from a player's family member at the first whistle and they didn't have to wait long to see the Yorkshire club score, with Sean McGurk finding the right corner after a simple pass and move around the box. United fought off interest from Tottenham, Barcelona and Bayern Munich to sign Hannibal for an initial €5m in August 2019 and it's understood the club are not planning on selling him this summer, despite interest from Borussia Dortmund.
United were the better side after conceding and they created three golden chances. Hugill was unable to finish with his head and Leeds made two important blocks to deny the other opportunities; with one cleared off the line.
