Leeds manager Daniel Farke expressed pride in his team's performance, noting: "I feel tired, relieved, proud of the boys. We stuck to our plan. We missed so many chances. The red card changed something and we fell asleep at a set piece but the first league win here in over 40 years is amazing."
Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who was involved in the incident leading to the red card, commented on the match: "It’s a massive result for us. We came here to win and we executed the game plan. I felt my hair get pulled and told the ref, and he made the decision."

Despite the disadvantage, Manchester United managed to pull a goal back through Casemiro in the 69th minute, creating a tense finish. However, Leeds held firm to secure the three points.
