The wind is starting to play havoc with the Sunderland backline.

Twice in the space of a minute a ball is played in behind that looks simple enough to deal with but the wind stops it running through as the defenders might expect and lead to a couple of more last-ditch tackles to stop Dominic Calvert-Lewin stealing in.

Well, Ron, what I can tell you is that Michael Carrick has done his post-match news conference.

That would usually suggest that, even if he is going to be sacked, it won't be tonight.

No guarantee on that, mind.

Sunderland have looked better as they've progressed up the pitch as a unit. The game has been quite spread because Leeds like to play out from the back.

Sunderland receive their first yellow card now as Reinildo holds on to Jayden Bogle as the Leeds man tried to get away down the right, eventually bringing him down.

Another chance for Harry Wilson to put a ball into the box... never mind, it's cleared easily enough.

A thunderous tackle from Trai Hume delights the home fans.

He got the ball cleanly and there were no complaints from Leeds' Gabriel Gudmundsson.

It's hard to know how much conditions are impacting things but this has not been pretty.

Still with 10 minutes left in the first half, there's plenty of time for that to change. I hope.

This is a wonderful stadium, isn't it? I think having both of these teams back in the Premier League is an asset to the league.

No-one has a given right to be there but I think the Premier League is better for it having these two teams in it - both in stadium, supporters and history.

Decent spell for Sunderland, this. They've had Leeds penned back in their own half for the past few minutes.

Regis le Bris is very happy with what he saw.

It's not a day for over-playing but what you can actually do is put a team under pressure. Not just as individuals but as a collective.

Enzo Le Fee smashes the free-kick into the wall. Seems he was going for goal rather than trying to pick out a team-mate in the middle.

Wasted, either way.

Watching Angulo the last few games, he’s got some nice little touches hasn’t he?

He’s new to the Premier League, he’s finding his feet but you’re slowly starting to see it. He’s got something about him.

Leeds captain Ethan Ampadu is the first played to be booked as he trips Nilson Angulo.

It was a positive run before a somewhat dramatic tumble and Sunderland have a free-kick in a good position to the left side of the box.

That's the first real chance for Sunderland!

They press Leeds and, with Brian Brobbey breathing down his neck, a stretching Tarik Muharemovic doesn't get quite enough on his attempted pass back to James Trafford.

The keeper still initially looks favourite but Brobbey beats him to it, only to hit his shot at the legs of Trafford.

He looked like he considered going around him but the angle was too tight.

The crowd are up after a few hefty challenges go in but, ultimately, this has been a very frustrating watch.

Neither side has been able to put much together as yet.

It's all been very narrow from both sets of players. It's been very compact and played down the central channel of the midfield.

Leeds' big attacking threat is their full-backs and, yes, they're pushing on but that was the first time Gudmundsson had put a cross in the box.

Manchester United

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire, speaking to BBC MOTD: "Very disappointed. Coming to the game we wanted to get a win for our fans and to concede another set play for the first goal is not good enough.

"We have to remain focused and when things aren't going your way you can't be giving away set plays. The second goal is a mistake and then we're 2-0 down at half time and we couldn't react.

"There's a lack of confidence at the moment - the results, the performances we have to look at ourselves and find something within ourselves to bring more to the team.

"That's every player that I'm talking about. When things aren't going your way you have to do the basics well and conceding set plays, a simple set play is just nowhere near good enough.

"It's an individual thing - we have to stick together as a team. So early on in the season - we can still have a good season but something has got to change quick. It's been disappointing, that has to change."

On backing manager: "We're fully behind Michael [Carrick], coming into the team last season he turned things around and got Champions League football this season. As individuals, we're not playing well enough."

On downturn from last season: "When you play for this club you know you're two or three games away from that happening. You have to find something within yourself to help the club, help the team and get out of this. We will start winning football matches but we have to do it quickly."

Good feet from Brian Bobbey and he wins Sunderland a free-kick midway inside the Leeds half.

A chance to launch the ball into the box. Granit Xhaka takes but it's under-hit and Leeds clear.
