That's it from us for tonight after a famous win for Leeds at their fiercest rivals.

Daniel Farke's side move six points clear of the relegation zone with six games remaining.

A first home league defeat as Manchester United boss for Michael Carrick but the Red Devils stay third, with a seven-point gap to Chelsea in sixth in the top-five battle.

Another Premier League (long) weekend is over but we'll be back tomorrow night as the first two of four Champions League quarter-finals conclude. See you then!

Anyway, hair pull or no hair pull, it's a night that those Leeds players - and those in the away end - will not forget in a hurry...

I've got to be honest, that looks a lot like a hair pull to me.

I could understand more if the argument was about whether a hair pull should be an automatic straight red but to say Lisandro Martinez didn't actually pull Dominic Calvert-Lewin's hair...?

Michael Carrick is seething about Lisandro Martinez's red card.

His argument is Leny Yoro got a forearm smash to the back of his head as he jumped with Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the build up to Leeds opener. Carrick doesn't understand why that decision was not overturned.

Then he says Martinez did not pull Calvert-Lewin's hair.

It sounds like Manchester United will appeal against the red card, which could bring a three-match ban.

"I am going to have to discuss it but I think it is a bad decision," said Carrick.

Not quite the full 'I prefer not to speak' but not far off.

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, speaking to Sky Sports: "We gave the game away in the first half. We were not up to the game straight away with our intensity. We knew they wanted to press as 1v1, we had to be better on the first ball but even better on the second ball.

"We weren't great, we gave too much space away. We ended up going 2-0 down, we had time in the second half to turn it around but it was not possible."

On the message at half time: "For us to lift the standard on the intensity. To be more aggressive. That's it."

On Man Utd's 24-day break: "It is what it is. We are out of the FA Cup so we have to blame ourselves to be out of the game for so long. We had to prepare ourselves in the best way. We did but it wasn't enough to win the game."

On Lisandro Martinez's red card: "I'm not talking about the referee. If I talk about the referee I'm going to get in very big trouble because the rules are applied differently for everyone. You can see it also in the yellow cards. It's better that I don't say anything."

On what impact the result will have on their season: "It doesn't change anything that we want to achieve. We know that our aim is to stay in the top four. It's in our hands, we have to win our games, if we do that we'll be in the position we want to be in at the end of the season."

Hmmm. Fair to say Michael Carrick wasn't overly impressed with referee Paul Tierney tonight then.

Manchester United

More from Manchester United manager Michael Carrick, speaking to Sky Sports: "The boys went for it. It's football, sometimes you don't have good spells in games and other times you do.

"We know we can be better and do things better. We'll obviously look at that.

"The second half, could've got something out of the game, I'm pleased with how we went about that. We spoke at half-time about getting the next goal and trying to win the game. It was obviously more difficult when you're a man down."

On if break had an impact: "Doesn't make any difference, to be honest;"

On learning from the loss: "This is one game. We'll certainly look at it and look to improve. We've got another big game, an important game next week and a big end to the season.

"We're in a really good position. Tonight's disappointing, we didn't want to lose and we didn't want the referee's decisions to be so bad against us but we move on.

"We've got a big end to the season and there's a lot to be positive about."

Manchester United

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick, speaking to Sky Sports: "We didn't start the game particularly well. We obviously conceded when Leny Yoro gets a forearm smash in the back of the head and they score the first goal.

"They didn't decide to overturn that decision. That was a big moment in the game. We didn't quite have the rhythm, we didn't click, we had some moments but it wasn't quite there for large parts of the first half.

"But second half, I thought the boys the way they went about it, stayed positive and fought to get something out of it after another shocking, shocking decision to send [Lisandro Martinez] off. Two games in a row we've had decisions like that go against us but that one was one of the worst I've seen."

On the red card: "You can elbow Leny Yoro for the first goal, leaning arm obviously, you can throw your arm in Martinez's face and then as he's off balance because of that, he's half grappling, he half touches the back of his hair which pulls the bobble to come out.

"I don't even know what it looks like. It's not a pull, it's not a tug, it's not aggressive. He touches it and he gets send off.

"Worse of all, he gets send to overturn it, a clear and obvious error. Shocking."

Leeds United

More from Leeds manager Daniel Farke, speaking to Sky Sports, on whether the result gives his team confidence: "Yes. A win is always good for the mood, for confidence. Also for the table!

"The reality is that performance wise we should already be with far more than 40 points. This team has performed over the whole season with unbelievable consistency. We can be more effective in both boxes.

"For that reality, we are on 36 points, a few more points are needed. For now, three points closer, nothing is achieved yet, we have to stay humble, grounded, hungry, we need to make sure we are also on it in the upcoming games to win as many points as possible."

I mentioned that this was Leeds' first win at Old Trafford since 1981.

Well, it's their first league win against Manchester United anywhere since Harry Kewell headed them to a 1-0 over their rivals at Elland Road in September 2002.

A win almost 24 years in the making.

Leeds United

More from Leeds United manager Daniel Farke, speaking to Sky Sports, about Lisandro Martinez's red card: "I haven't watched it back. A hair pull and for that a red card, once VAR has watched it and said 'okay' you have to break and the ref watches it, it's a red card. I haven't seen it.

"I was worried because we had such good momentum and sometimes such a situation can change the momentum. I would have preferred more or less than play 11 v 11 but it is how it is. But in the end we won the game and I don't complain."

On his team's game management in the final stages: "I would say 95% really good. The situation with the goal, in overload you shouldn't concede, out of second phase on the set piece we are on underload and there wasn't enough awareness. In the final minutes we could have killed the game with a bit more possession.

"There were good periods but it wasn't perfect. Overall, I'm pleased and all the lads were nervous. It wasn't the easiest week.

"We had players out, Gabi and Okafor, I was happy we could find solutions. And Stach and Rodon were out today. Big compliment to the whole group. We weren't immaculate today but overall good."

We'll bring you quotes from Michael Carrick's interview with Sky Sports shortly but it is fair to say the Manchester United boss was not particularly happy with the referee's performance tonight...

Leeds United

Leeds United manager Daniel Farke speaking to Sky Sports about how he feels after the win: "Tired. Relieved. Proud of the boys. Fantastic performance. We are in the crunch time of the season and it's important to keep your nerves and stick to your plan.

"I think the first half was fantastic, we should've been higher up than 2-0, we missed many many chances. Good start to the second half. Sometimes red card can change something, I didn't have the feeling at all. We were a bit sleepy at one set piece. Of course it's more or less still Man Utd's way, it's difficult to bring it over the line as a newly-promoted side.

"I think it's the first in Premier League history, first win here for forty years. It's amazing, and of course a big step forward."

On scoring early after a Premier League drought: "Very happy for the boys. Goals are always important for the momentum in the game. It's a sign of why we should be in a much better position performance wise. We could have been way more effective with our chances.

"On the other side is a side packed with top class players, which can bring quality from the bench later in the game. If you don't bury the game, it's always something possible, especially for the home team. We have to stay humble.

"We are not perfect. We are not the finished, end product. We are on a good path, on the way to achieving something really positive this season."

Michael Carrick had won each of his first six home league games in charge of Manchester United prior to today, the joint-longest winning start in the top-flight for a manager at the club along with Frank O’Farrell.

Both lost their seventh to Leeds United, with the latter’s defeat coming in October 1971 (1-0).

Leeds goalscorer Noah Okafor, speaking to Sky Sports: "I think that I can score and help the team. For this I am very happy and proud.

"But to every player, every staff member that is with us, a big compliment because we were fighting to the end and we deserved the three points."

On his second goal: "I think I hit well, I tried because if you don't try then the ball can't go in. I tried and scored my second goal so really happy about that.

"It brought us even more into the game and we knew we had to defend as a team. We did well so really, really excited and happy."

On managing the lead: "We knew the [Man Utd] goal was not at the right moment so we had another 20-30 minutes to survive. We had to defend and attack as a team. We take this and we keep looking forwards."

Leeds United

Leeds United striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin speaking to Sky Sports: "It's a massive result for us. We came here to win, that's how we set up. We executed the game plan and came away with three points. We're delighted."

On Lisandro Martinez's sending off: "I don't know, I don't make the rules. I felt my hair get pulled, told the ref, he makes the decisions. Unfortunate for him, whether he's meant it or not. I hold no grudges."

On his goalline clearance: "I was just in the moment, switched on, engaged and waiting. Doing my job. Thankfully I was there to clear the ball off the line and arguably it make up for the ones that I should've put away at the other end."

On whether the result gives his team confidence: "It does. It's important we don't read too much into the external noise and continue to focus on what's in front of us.

"It's easy to come here and make history, but it doesn't matter come the end of the season when the points tallies are in. That's all we're focussed on - one game after another, making sure that we stay in the Premier League."
