A number of Leeds United supporters have laid into Robin Koch's first-half performance against Manchester United.

The White have started their Premier League season with a trip to Old Trafford, in the latest chapter in a long rivalry between the two clubs.

Marcelo Bielsa's side are aiming to replicate last season's performance, in which the Whites finished ninth in the table and impressed neutrals with their style of play.

An entertaining opening 45 minutes saw the hosts have the better of the chances though, and Bruno Fernandes' goal is the difference between the sides.

Bielsa has opted to play Koch in midfield, but it looks a decision that hasn't paid off, with the centre-back struggling in an unfamiliar role.
