It’s no exaggeration to suggest that United could have been 3-0 up at the break and Tuesday’s display shows that, when Leeds click, they can be a force to be reckoned with.
Obviously the Whites need to produce performances like this on a consistent basis next year to stand any chance of going up but their St Andrew’s display proved there is definitely potential to be some way better than their current position of 15th if the club can keep its best players and add to them, and also avoid distractions off the field.
They are all big ifs.
