Good evening everybody and welcome to highlights of the game between Manchester United and Leeds United at Old Trafford. As always both teams will be looking for a win in preparation for the Ultimate League start next weekend, and both managers will want to try out their various new signings. Let's see how they got on.
Who kicks off the first half?
Manchester United:[dice=10](7)
Leeds United:[dice=10](2)
6th minute: It's the home side who started off this game tonight, and they've been keeping possession in their own half, looking for a way through. It's left back Holt on the ball at the moment, and as per his managers instructions he's running with the ball, and he attempts a 1-2 pass with new signing Niko Bilic. Can he get a score of [dice=10](4) to pull off the move? [dice=10](10)
The move works flawlessly with that score of 10, brilliantly done, and the Leeds right back Kershaw is left standing there looking about as outclassed as he should be! Holt is all on his own down that left side, and the strikers are queueing up for a good cross. Can he get a score of [dice=10] [dice=10](13) to get the cross in to the unmarked Mallard?
Holt crossing of 5 +[dice=10](4)
The cross is still good with that score of 9, and it's heading straight for the head of the other United striker Biles. Can he nod it on to Mallard or will Leeds defender Carollo get it clear?
Biles nods it on:[dice=10]
Carollo makes the clearance:[dice=10]
