Veron will be assessed on Thursday after an ankle injury saw him limp off 10 minutes after the interval.

Alex Ferguson said: "We have hobbled through really.

"I was actually going to take Mikael off just before he scored because he had already missed with three headers. Fortunately he got a fourth.

"We had to batten down the hatches at the end but you have to give Leeds credit for that. We have a 10-day break coming up and the players deserve a rest now."
