Marcelo Bielsa admits Leeds were well off the pace in defensive horror show at Old Trafford

Marcelo Bielsa admitted that Leeds were the architects of their own downfall as his side were thrashed 6-2 by Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Raphinha lost possession inside two minutes to allow Bruno Fernandes to ghost forward and tee up Scott McTominay, who drilled home past Illan Meslier.

After another confident finish from McTominay saw the Scot double his tally for the match a minute later, Fernandes got himself on the scoresheet after Luke Ayling had failed to clear the danger.

Victor Lindelof and Liam Cooper exchanged goals before more sloppy defending from Ayling allowed Daniel James too much room before the Welshman shifted the ball onto his left foot and nutmegged Meslier.
