Investigation is ongoing – Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick confirms after 4-2 victory over Leeds United
Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick has confirmed Leeds United are investigating the behaviour of some of their fans following Sunday’s Premier League game between Manchester United and Leeds United.
Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes gave Rangnick’s men a two-goal lead, but the hosts levelled through Rodrigo and Raphinha in the second half.
However, Fred and Anthony Elanga sealed the three points for United late on.
While Manchester United players celebrated Fred’s goal, some Leeds United fans threw objects at Manchester United players, with one item hitting Elanga.
“As far as I know, there is some investigation going on from Leeds United,” Rangnick said.
“I don’t think that anything happened in the end. Anthony Elanga looked well and he was happy about scoring his goal.
“Obviously things like that should not happen and I think even more so in this game. The atmosphere was great.
“At times we had to cool down things on the pitch a little bit but this is what I did when I walked onto the pitch (during a late melee). I didn’t want anything to happen – no yellow or red cards.
“In moments like this, I think it’s important to try and cool things down,” he stated.
