00:01Leeds United were left frustrated after being held to a 1-1 draw by Manchester United,
00:08a rivalry match at Ellen Road with Daniel Farker, believing his side deserved to take all three points.
00:17It was Brian Umbermo who gave United the lead in the first half,
00:21but Dominic Calvert-Lewin continued his impressive run of scoring at home.
00:26Six minutes after the break, he struck and Leeds ultimately earned a point from the game.
00:33The Leeds boss said he was disappointed not to win,
00:37insisting his team had been the better side of the two
00:41and could have taken all three points with greater quality needed in the final third.
00:47The Leeds manager also felt the performance demonstrated just how far Leeds have progressed
00:53with the team now expecting to compete against established Premier League opposition,
00:59such as Manchester United, rather than simply settle for a draw against top sides.
01:06Farker will hope Leeds can turn encouraging performances into victories as they go forward.
01:12They prepare for their next league fixture against Sunderland.
01:16Here is what Daniel Farker had to say after the draw with Manchester United.
01:24I actually wanted to win this game and my boys as well.
01:28I think you could see this also outside for that.
01:31It's even a situation where we are even a bit disappointed that we didn't win it.
01:37But on the other hand, you have to say,
01:39so it says a lot about what we've done over the last years,
01:42that we're right now even slightly disappointed with the point.
01:46It was just a point against Man United.
01:49I think we were the better side today.
01:51The dominant side was not necessary to be in a losing position at halftime
01:56because even the first half we were very dominant, but it's still Man United.
02:01And if you're in one moment not switch on to defend forward
02:03and also to spot the run and track the run,
02:06then you have their quality and in Bömo they can hurt you.
02:09And that's what they did.
02:10And I think we lacked a little bit in our decision-making in the first half,
02:15so we could have done a bit better
02:19and can play it in and around the box with a bit more clarity.
02:23I think this is what we added in the second half,
02:24especially in the beginning.
02:25Push for the equalizer fully deserved a really good equalizer,
02:29had the momentum completely on our side.
02:32Yes, and the problem was there were too many strikes over the crossbar
02:35and too many crosses were then even a bit too long.
02:38And, you know, this situation killed then a bit our momentum.
02:41I think otherwise we would have capitalized even more
02:44and would have won this game.
02:46But this lack of bit quality in the finishing and the crossing
02:51was more or less the only thing I can criticize
02:53because on the other hand you always have to be aware
02:55it's still Man United.
02:59All right, let's talk about that.
