Man United and Leeds United played a 1-1 draw at Elland Road a few weeks ago.
Many fans were concerned after that game, as they felt that Daniel Farke’s men should have won.
Then came the goalless draw with Sunderland, which raised concerns over the team’s form. Losing to Bournemouth caused an uproar with many criticizing Farke’s tactics.
But all that seems to have subsided following Leeds’ win over Spurs just before the international break.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin was linked with a shock move to Old Trafford in the last few weeks. The Red Devils were looking at options in January because of Benjamin Sesko’s injury.
When the news emerged, club sources shut the links down. Reports then emerged about the striker signing a new contract.
Sam Allardyce has been speaking about Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and his career resurgence since he arrived at Elland Road. He was speaking on the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast.
“It’s nice to see him doing what he’s doing at Leeds.”
“I’d like to know what he’s done with his life to keep himself fit; whether that’s a combination of his own vitality and the club coming together to put everything in place to make sure he can be picked every week – it didn’t seem to happen at Everton for some reason.”
Former Leeds United boss Sam Allardyce thinks Man United could do with a player like the England star.
“He’s better than what they’ve got now, isn’t he?” Allardyce said when comparing Calvert-Lewin to the Red Devils’ current options in attack.
“It depends how much Leeds would want for him. You would take the risk (if it was £20 million), but I don’t think Leeds would take that money. It doesn’t matter (if they got him for free), who would they replace him with?”

Dominic Calvert-Lewin will remain at Elland Road
All reports point to the striker signing a new contract, his form and record since arriving at the club deserve this.
He is currently one of the highest paid players at Elland Road, and will most likely get another pay rise.
But Calvert-Lewin is happy at Leeds, a club that took a gamble on him that paid off in a big way. He is happy and the 49ers are happy, this union is not ending any time soon.
