Noam Emeran makes the difference! Six things we learned as Man Utd sink Leeds in pre-season friendly thanks to tricky Frenchman as Mason Mount enjoys lively debut

United have an embarrassment of riches in the wide areas and in Emeran they could have another gem on their hands. The 20-year-old Frenchman broke the deadlock with a classy finish reminiscent of Thierry Henry, slipping in behind the defence and curling into the far bottom corner.

He was full of tricks and danced his way past two defenders to set up the second goal for Hugill, adding an assist to his goal. He has plenty of competition in his position but on this evidence he could give Antony a run for his money.

The Tunisia international was United's most influential player in the first half and was involved all over the pitch. He was frequently breaking up Leeds' play and created his share of chances, including teeing up Sancho and forcing a save from Kristoffer Klaesson with his own effort after combining with Amad.

But his most important intervention was in his own area, sprinting back to help stave off a Leeds counter and making a crucial slide tackle to deny Ian Poveda a clear scoring chance.

Hannibal had an excellent season on loan with Birmingham and this was an impressive first match back with his parent club. He staked his claim for a place on the US tour.

United's big summer signing made a decent first impression in his 45 minutes on the pitch. The main takeaway was his willingness to get involved in every aspect of his side's play.

The England midfielder popped up at the base of the midfield and the tip of it, working hard defensively and pressing high. He got his hands dirty and made a few tackles, including creating a good chance for himself when he won the ball back high up the pitch and tried to lob Klaesson, his shot landing on the roof of the net.

He combined well with Amad and Hannibal but his final pass left a bit to be desired and a couple of his attempts were easily cut out by Leeds' defence. He also took all of United's set pieces in the first half. It was far from the dream debut but one thing was clear: he wants the ball as often as possible and he wants to make things happen.

Sancho played as a 'false nine' in the first half but on this evidence it is not a position that suits him. The winger could find little space behind the Leeds defence and he still seemed to play with fear, even on a low-key occasion such as this.

He looked afraid of taking defenders on and his lack of confidence contrasted with the exuberance with which Amad played on the right wing. Worst of all, Sancho fluffed a glorious opportunity to score, losing his footing when presented with a dream lay-off by Hannibal.

Sancho still has a lot to prove heading into his third season at United having come nowhere close to justifying the £74 million ($96m) in his first two campaigns. And this was not the start he would have been hoping for.

Amad Diallo was one of the players fans would have been most excited about seeing in action. The Ivorian had a tremendous season on loan at Sunderland, scoring 17 goals in the Championship, and it will be fascinating to see whether he goes out on loan again or is given an opportunity to shine in Ten Hag's first team.

He provided a spark on the right of United's attack, thrusting down the wing and always keeping Leeds' defenders on red alert. He will have been disappointed not to score but he got the crowd on their feet on several occasions and had a much bigger impact than Sancho.

This was Lisandro Martinez's first match back since fracturing his metatarsal against Sevilla in April and it was great to see him start and play with freedom and passion.

The agonising injury was a freak accident but it would have been understandable if the Argentine had been a little shy in the tackle. But he closed down opponents with gusto and was unafraid to battle for the ball.

He even sustained a light knock in an aerial duel but dusted himself down and kept going. United fans will be delighted to have such an important presence fit again and ready to impose himself on opponents.
