Michael Carrick called the draw at Leeds "a bit of a fresh start" for Man United, with the squad's mood beforehand the best in a long time. On sitting in the bottom half: "We're not accepting it as everything's great by any stretch." He still believes in a really good season.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin stayed standing as Leeds took the knee before the 1-1 with Man United, amid some booing. Daniel Farke said he always shows respect by standing and each individual is different. Farke said he "wasn't even aware" the team would kneel but backs the campaign.
"It was not the time for our perhaps technical players who can find the easy little pass." Daniel Farke on leaving Harry Wilson and Jean-Mattéo Bahoya unused as Leeds chased a winner against Man United. He chose the "physicality and experience" of Lukas Nmecha and Sean Longstaff.
Bruno Fernandes played the full game centrally at Leeds. "Nah, he's alright now. It's not a big deal," said Man United's Michael Carrick. Carlos Baleba and Andrey Santos started again, "a pretty fresh spine," with other midfielders "not quite with us yet" for injuries.
Bryan Mbeumo, who has scored two weeks running, had a "slightly adapted role" at Leeds, Man United's Michael Carrick said: same in possession, "a little bit different defensively." Amad is asked "to defend a little bit more off the right depending on who we're playing against."
"I know I had also to follow the man better." Tarik Muharemović owned the goal Leeds conceded in the 1-1 Man United draw; Daniel Farke told players at half-time it "was not necessary". On the point: "I'm not that happy because we know we could have gone for more."
"We have got to start winning football matches soon, and that's what Manchester United demands." Harry Maguire after the draw at Leeds, calling the point "probably a fair result." Michael Carrick wanted all three points but saw a lot in the performance.
Bruno Fernandes had been carrying an issue, which is why Portugal managed his minutes, Man United's Michael Carrick said: "He's pretty much over that now." Marcus Rashford, who pulled out of the England squad with a slight injury, has "managed that a little bit."
Amad is back in Man United's squad for the Premier League trip to Leeds and could make his 100th appearance: "an important player," said Michael Carrick. He hopes Noussair Mazraoui, after "a little bit of training", is involved, but won't commit to Matthijs de Ligt starting.
Joe Rodon misses Leeds v Man United: Daniel Farke has him in week seven of an eight-to-ten-week injury, not yet in team training, and won't rush a man who'd "go on the pitch even with one leg." Daniel James (back) has a chance of facing his old club. All others seem available.
Noah Okafor is told to play at 100%, and because his big frame makes repeated sprinting tiring, Leeds manager Daniel Farke often takes him off after around 70 minutes. "So he hardly can score a goal in the last 20 minutes. So I should take the blame for this," Farke joked.
Leeds substitutes are on notice. Daniel Farke agreed his bench has made little impact, including against Palace and Arsenal, and warned: "If you don't make an impact, then quite often it's also a chance perhaps that someone else comes in. So there is competition."
