Leo took his position beside Tiehi for the restart, dropping into the double pivot.
The whistle sounded, and Wigan put the ball back into play.
The next few minutes brought little relief.
Every time Leo received possession, a United shirt seemed to appear in front of him.
Mainoo closed from one side, Casemiro waited behind, and Bruno pressed whenever Leo tried to turn.
When he escaped the first challenge, another player was ready to block his path.
He managed to wriggle free on several occasions, shifting the ball between his feet and using his body to protect it.
But the space ahead of him kept disappearing.
Sometimes he was forced to release a hurried pass; at other times, a late challenge sent him tumbling to the turf.
United had clearly decided he would not be allowed to settle.
Through it all, the away crowd enjoyed every moment of it.
A roar followed each time Leo lost possession.
