An instinctive finish from Joe Hugill gives Manchester United a two-goal lead against Leeds in Oslo.
Manchester United travelled to the Norwegian captain with just one recognised centre-forward.
However, Joe Hugill had to wait until half-time to make an appearance because Erik ten Hag started with a front three of Amad Diallo, Jadon Sancho and Omari Forson.
United opened the scoring in the second half thanks to Noam Emeran, who linked up with brilliantly with fellow academy star Hansen-Aarøen.
Hugill was in the right place at the right time to make it 2-0, with a superb finish to show Ten Hag what he has to work with.

Whether United sign a new centre-forward or not – the likes of Hugill could be given more minutes in the team next season.
There’s no way back for Leeds with the scoreline 2-0 in United’s favour.
