By IANS News April 14, 2026 • 09:50 AM View: 225

Man Utd: Leeds United ran out 10-man Manchester United at Old Trafford for the first time in 44 years as Noah Okafor’s first half brace secured a 2-1 vital win in the Premier League relegation battle.

Noah Okafor's first-half brace was enough to secure a crucial three points for Daniel Farke's side, moving them six clear of the bottom three and handing Man Utd head coach Michael Carrick his first home defeat since taking charge.

Okafor opened the scoring in the fifth minute before getting his second just before the half-hour mark, while Ao Tanaka missed a golden opportunity for a third.
