Manchester United kicked off 2021/2022 English Premiership League with an electrifying display against the visitors, the Leeds United.
Supeeb goals from Bruno Fernandes (30’30th minute, 54’54th minute, 60’60th minute); Mason Greenwood (52’52nd minute) and Fred (68’68th minute) secured deserved victory for the red devils.
However, Manchester United were caught napping at the start of the second half, which provided a scoring opportunity for Leeds’ Luke Ayling to level up at the Theatre of Dreams.
Fernandes was named Man of The Match while Paul Pogba provided three assists during the encounter.
The opening game 5 – 1 in favour of the Red Devils.
Bruno Fernandes’ hat-trick is the 10th scored on the opening weekend in Premier League history, with Leeds the first club to concede two such trebles in the competition (also Mo Salah last season). Magic. – OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) August 14, 2021.
Meanwhile, Manchester United have completed the signing of Raphael Varane from Real Madrid.
The centre-back has joined United on a four-year deal until June 2025 for a fee believed to be around £41m including add-ons.
Varane’s arrival was announced as the 28-year-old walked out in front of a packed Old Trafford crowd ahead of United’s Premier League opener against Leeds on Saturday.
