Bryan Mbeumo stole in to fire the visitors into a half-time lead, but Leeds hit back early in the second period through Calvert-Lewin’s thumping finish.

Leeds fans held high hopes of securing their first home win over the Red Devils in 45 years after Michael Carrick’s side had won only one of their previous six league games this season.

There was little in terms of quality on show from either side in a full-blooded derby clash, but Carrick will have no complaints about his players’ application as they matched Leeds’ intensity to earn a deserved point.
