‘Different quality’, ‘Such a good player’ – Some Leeds fans blown away by ‘Baller’ v Man Utd
Some Leeds United fans have hailed the performance of Raphinha as the Whites lost 6-2 to Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.
It was an afternoon to forget for Leeds as they were downed by a ruthless Manchester United at Old Trafford.
One of the few positives to take from the game was Raphinha’s impressive performance as the winger has been credited with the assist for both of Leeds’ goals.
While his second assist was a relatively simple pass to Stuart Dallas, before the midfielder curled his effort magnificently into the top corner, it showed that the summer signing can make things happen for Leeds.
The away side were rarely more dangerous than when Raphinha was bearing down on the Man United goal and he could’ve scored himself but David de Gea made an impressive stop.
If Leeds were going to have any success against the Red Devils it was going to come through Raphinha who, on another day, could’ve had a goal and more assists to his name.
Some Whites fans claimed that the 24-year-old’s performance was the only positive to come out of the game.
One fan even claimed that Raphinha was the only player who would stay at the club on a long-term basis.
Here is how some Leeds fans reacted to Raphinha’s performance against Manchester United.
It was a poor evening for Leeds and fans will be looking for positives to take from the defeat at Old Trafford.
Raphinha’s impressive showing was one of few such positives as the attacker looks to be going from strength to strength following his summer move to Elland Road.
