'Good to see Manchester United won their cup final': Leeds United fans react to pre-season showdown
In front of 55,274 spectators, Mason Greenwood breached Marcelo Bielsa's defence after seven minutes before Marcus Rashford doubled the Red Devils' advantage.
It was soon 3-0 after the break when Andreas Pereira netted as Anthony Martial capitalised on Liam Cooper's foul to tuck away his spot-kick.
Here is just some of the reaction on social media:
@GEE_ORGY: What an embarrassing pointless exercise. Cheers.

@Paw1966P: Did anyone seriously expect any different. Let's get on to the important stuff of getting promoted.
@Pat29761: Great. That’s taken me right back to how I felt after Derby. Probably the players too. No wonder Bielsa was angry with the board. Bad, bad idea.
@DavidKershaw7: Good game for Leeds against a side 100x better side than what we have right now, good work on fitness, passing and shape and a few bits to work on at the back and in terms of finishing #lufc

Hide Ad@JerichoKeys: We're such a generous club. Marcelo feeling sorry for Ole and demanding we give them the game.
@RSTJA: You can't seriously have watched that and thought that we don't need another centre half.
@adrian_geary: Good to see Man Utd have won their cup final though.. Only one they will win this season.
@farmerboi23: Pogba + Rashford earn more than every player at all levels at Leeds combined! Sense of realism people! Pointless friendly all banked on promotion!! NO ... Pontus would have made no difference
