Leeds United caretaker boss Michael Skubala praised Willy Gnonto after their 2-2 draw at Manchester United.

The Italian gave the visitors the lead in the first minute.

Skubala said, "Yeah I enjoyed it. It's an exciting opportunity for the players and the staff so we have to try get a result. We got one.

"We set the team up to be pragmatic but to go after the game as well and try to score goals.

"It's a tough place to come. They have quality and haven't lost in 13 games in all competitions. I'm disappointed we didn't win but at the end of the day they were going to throw quality at us in the last moments. We needed to see the game out and I thought we did that well."

On Gnonto's performance, he added: "He's a superb player. He's a superb talent and a great person to work with but I thought everyone put their shift in and played out the gameplan. Willy did his shift but there were some strong defensive performances too. The fans and the club should be proud."
