How Sir Alex Ferguson described the last Manchester United v Leeds United as the rivals agree pre-season friendly
Manchester United v Leeds United is on.The two rivals will face each other next summer in a pre-season friendly, which will be the first time they have come face-to-face in eight years.Theirs is a bitter rivalry and the last time they met in a 2011 League Cup match manager Sir Alex Ferguson said Leeds fans made it a frightening experience.3On their first visit to Leeds since October 2003, United stayed in a city centre hotel, which then forced police to make a last-minute change to the clubs route to Elland Road after a chanting mob congregated outside of where they stayed.We had a lot of problems outside the hotel, Ferguson said at the time. I dont know how many hundreds of them there were, but it was like the film Zulu. The police were fantastic, though. It was frightening. There were seven police vans around the hotel protecting the team.I dont understand it between Leeds and Manchester United. But its there and its not nice.3Liverpool-Manchester United games, as we have said before, have always been fierce in many aspects and sometimes supporters can play a bad part in particular games. But it never reaches the levels of Leeds versus United. Its just modern society I suppose.Fergie will tell you he wasnt even aware of the animosity between the sides when he first arrived at Old Trafford from Aberdeen in 1986.He got a taste of the hatred when he travelled with his assistant, Archie Knox, to watch Crystal Palace play Leeds in the old First Division and was called a Manc b*****d when spotted by one of the Elland Road faithful.Fergie on a visit to Elland Road with Manchester United3

I looked for a steward. The directors box at Elland Road is small and the fans are all around you. Palace went to the other end and scored. Thats when the crowd really lost it, he wrote in his 2013 autobiography.Archie wanted us to leave, but I insisted we stay. Palace scored again and thats when our new friend hit me in the back with a Bovril cup. The abuse was astonishing. Lets get out of here, I said to Archie. Fergie sought out Norman Davies, the kit man at the time who said it all emanated in the 1960s. A punch up between Denis Law and Jack Charlton during an ill-tempered FA Cup tie contributed to the bad blood.Fergie later explained he used to tell his players to behave properly on the pitch, telling them they don’t need to add to any problems match days may bring.And after the last game, which Fergie’s boys won 3-0, two police officers were injured and 24 people were arrested as trouble flared.Fourteen men faced court as a result.
