Paul Scholes explains why he predicted Manchester United display vs Leeds

Paul Scholes has claimed he predicted Manchester United would make light work for their clash with Leeds on Sunday afternoon.

Goals from Harry Maguire, Bruno Fernandes, Fred and Anthony Elanga settled the scores at Elland Road.

It was a topsy-turvy showdown with Rodrigo and Raphinha threatening to upset the party for United before Ralf Rangnick and his men closed out a deserved 4-2 victory.

Struggling towards the lower reaches of the Premier League standings, Leeds have conceded more goals than any other team apart from rock-bottom Norwich this season.

Meanwhile, United had not netted four goals in a single match since September.

Speaking to Premier League Productions, former United midfielder Scholes said: "In a lot of recent games they had created quite a few chances - more than they had done in the past.

"It's about time they stuck four or five goals away and Leeds seemed the perfect team for that.

"They're the second-worst in the league for conceding goals and United took full advantage."
