Let's have a look at some previous memorable encounters between Leeds United and Manchester United The original version of this article was first posted on Greater Manchester Football.  Memorable Encounters Between Manchester United And Leeds United (greatermanchesterfootball.blogspot.com) The video below is a prologue to a documentary about one of the fiercest rivalries in English football, Manchester United vs Leeds United.  LUFC Lewis - YouTube Leeds United 0 - 3 Manchester United (September 2011) Despite making several changes, Manchester United eased into the next round of the 2011/2012 League Cup following a 3-0 win. Michael Owen scored twice and Ryan Giggs got one. All the goals came before half-time. Leeds United 0 - 0 Manchester United (February 1993) This game had no goals but was made memorable by Eric Cantona returning to Leeds for the first time since he signed for Manchester United. Man United reach 1977 FA Cup final The 1977 Fa Cup semi final was played at Hillsbor

Leeds United 2 - 4 Manchester United Let's check all the reaction as Manchester United survived a second-half scare to win 4-2 at Elland Road. Substitutes Fred and Anthony Elanga both found the net in the final 20 minutes. United went into a two-nil lead before the break thanks to goals from Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes. However, Leeds responded in the second half. Quickfire goals from both Rodrigo and Raphinha had pulled Marcelo Bielsa's side level before Fred and Elanga ensured all three points returned to Old Trafford. It was Leeds who carved open the first real chance of the game after just five minutes, as Mateusz Klich cleverly found Jack Harrison unmarked with a lofted through pass. He failed to trouble David De Gea and fired his effort wide of the mark. Memorable moments between Leeds United and Manchester United (eurosuperfootball.blogspot.com) Paul Pogba then aimed shortly after, with the Frenchman driving forward from the right before releasing a low drive t

Manchester United 2 - 2 Leeds United Man United fought their way back from being two goals down to take a point against Leeds United at Old Trafford. Marcus Rashford and substitute Jadon Sancho levelled Wilfried Gnonto’s first-minute strike and Raphael Varane’s own goal to move Erik ten Hag’s men three points ahead of Newcastle United in the Premier League table. The Reds got back into the game after a difficult 60 minutes. They recovered from the deficit with well-worked counter-attacks and a never-say-die attitude, epitomised by Luke Shaw, who was instrumental in Sancho’s goal to level the clash. After that, United dominated. The Leeds goal lived a charmed life at times. Fred and Fernandes missed efforts that could have brought the Old Trafford house down. Instead, Leeds held out for five minutes of stoppage time, doing well to kill our momentum on occasion, and will be the more pleased of the two sides with the outcome. What will happen when the sides meet again on Sunday? Highl

Leeds United have sacked manager Javi Gracia and appointed Sam Allardyce as they try to avoid relegation.  Spaniard Gracia was appointed in February and has been sacked after only 10 weeks and 12 games in charge at Elland Road. Allardyce has been tasked with guiding 17th-placed Leeds, who are out of the bottom three only on goal difference, to safety with four games remaining.  Premier League news (eurosuperfootball.blogspot.com) His first game for his club is against Manchester City on Saturday. Gracia's final match in charge was Sunday's 4-1 defeat at Bournemouth. Can Leeds do the unthinkable and beat City? That latest heavy loss followed an awful run of results that included 6-1, 5-1 and 4-1 defeats against Liverpool , Crystal Palace and Arsenal respectively.  Premier League: It was a dramatic Sunday (eurosuperfootball.blogspot.com) This dismissal takes the total of managerial changes in the Premier League to 15 for the season, five more than in any other previous campaign.

 Fulham 2 - 1 Leeds United Leeds United's chances of staying in the Premier League were dented after a poor performance at Craven Cottage.  Goals from Harry Wilson and Andreas Pereira handed Fulham a 2-1 victory over Leeds United at Craven Cottage, cementing the west London side's position in the top half of the table. This team. 😍 #FULLEE pic.twitter.com/KQkv60yOhM — Fulham Football Club (@FulhamFC) April 22, 2023 Chances were few and far between in a quiet first half, with Leeds' Marc Roca forcing goalkeeper Bernd Leno into a good save from a free kick. Fulham's best opportunities fell to Pereira from long range. Fulham took the lead in the 58th minute with a powerful finish from Wilson after Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier parried a Willian cross into Wilson's path. Fulham continued to apply the pressure and almost doubled their lead when a Pereira free kick rattled the crossbar. And the hosts' second came similarly. Meslier could only divert a cross fr

Allan Saint-Maximin's equaliser lifted some of the pressure on Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce as his side gained a point against Leeds United After a week when Bruce had to defend his position as manager following further criticism from  their fans. The mood ad threatened to turn really ugly when Raphinha cut in from the right and sent his cross into the far corner of Karl Darlow's goal after 13 minutes. As Leeds threatened to run riot, "we want Brucey out" was sung by all sides of the stadium. Marcelo Bielsa's free-spirited side should have been further ahead before the break, but after Matt Ritchie hit a post, Saint-Maximin lifted the mood when he danced around the Leeds United defence. The two tweets below were just some of the posts that highlights the anger from Newcastle fans.  After the match, Bruce told Sky Sports: "If I'm being honest I enjoyed the game and let's be honest it could have gone either way. It was like when you play at school,

 Leeds United have finally named their new manager They have agreed terms with former Watford boss Javi Gracia to replace Jesse Marsch. Marsch was sacked on 6 February but Leeds have faced several setbacks in their hunt for his replacement. The Spaniard Gracia took Watford to the FA Cup final in 2019. He then went on to manager at La Liga side Valencia and Qatari club Al Sadd. Can Garcia keep Leeds up? They are currently 19th in the Premier League and host bottom club Southampton in their next game on Saturday. The club say Gracia has been appointed on a "flexible contract" and will take charge of the side against Saints "subject to obtaining the necessary work permissions". Under-21s boss Michael Skubala has been in interim charge since Marsch's sacking despite club owner Andrea Radrizzani initially promising a quick appointment. A long drawn out process An approach for Rayo Vallecano's Andoni Iraola was blocked, while Feyenoord's Arne Slot ruled hims

 QPR 4 - 0 Leeds United Leicester City have been promoted to the Premier League QPR dealt a heavy blow to Leeds' hopes of promotion with an impressive 4-0 victory.  Ilias Chair, Lucas Anderson, Lyndon Dykes, and Sam Field all scored for QPR, securing their place in the Championship for next season. A pivotal night for both sides Leeds may have to settle for a play-off place. However, it was a joyous night for Marti Cifuentes' Hoops who are now seven points clear of the relegation zone and have moved up to 16th place. EFL: Who's getting promoted to the Premier League?  The home side was down in 23rd position in the table, and they had lost six consecutive games when their current boss took over as coach from Gareth Ainsworth at the end of October. After a difficult period before and after Christmas, the R's have won nine matches and only lost four since mid-January, allowing them to escape from danger. Don’t Worry About a Thing - last night at QPR, last & best ho

 Leeds United 0 - 2 Manchester United The Red Devils scored twice in the final 10 minutes at Elland Road to leave Leeds deep in relegation trouble. Three days on from Marcus Rashford netting the Red Devils' first goal as they came back from 2-0 down at home to secure a Premier League draw, he broke the deadlock when he rose to meet Luke Shaw's curling cross to head past Illan Meslier for his 21st goal of a superb season. Alejandro Garnacho then outpaced the home defence before beating Meslier at his near post to the joy of Erik ten Hag. Many pundits have argued that the result was harsh on Leeds. They created a number of opportunities but could not beat David de Gea. Reaction The United boss told MUTV: "We made changes to avoid fatigue. We are the only team in Europe to be in four competitions, so we have to rotate, but we also have to use the group from a tactical point of view. I think that's what wins the game."  One fan told us: "Maguire & Malacia

There has already been an announcement about a Manchester United player's future It has been announced that Manchester United defender  Raphael Varane  will leave the club when his contract runs out at the end of the season. Varane joined from Real Madrid in July 2021 for an initial fee of about £34m and has made 93 appearances for The Red Devils.  This was the article published from our friends at News Ball UK.  Manchester United announce Varane signing The former France international helped United win the Carabao Cup in 2023 when manager Erik ten Hag's side beat Newcastle United 2-0.

Manchester United have announced that Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard will leave the club once their contracts expire Both players drew widespread attention as part of United's Youth Cup winning side of 2011. Pogba departs again.  A statement on United's website reads: "The club can announce that Paul Pogba will leave Manchester United at the end of June, upon the expiry of his contract." The Frenchman has enjoyed a long association with United, having joined the club's Academy from Le Havre at the age of just 16. Pogba quickly progressed through the ranks, first impressing in the Under-18s and then swiftly moving upwards to the Reserves. In the 2011/2012 season, he made a few appearances. However, in the summer of 2012, due to strong competition for places at Old Trafford, Pogba joined Italian giants Juventus. He quickly became a success at Juve as he helped them lift four consecutive Serie A titles and two Coppa Italias. However, in 2016, he made the emotion

Leeds United 4 - 0 Norwich City  There was a fantastic atmosphere at Elland Road before the match. After a dill and dreary stalemate in the first leg, Leeds United were out to shine against Norwich City. The home side, who finished three places and 17 points above the Canaries, took a deserved early lead. Ilia Gruev's long-range free-kick beat Angus Gunn at his near post. Elland Road was bouncing Joel Piroe then made it 2-0 when he headed in Willy Gnonto's deep cross to the far post. Norwich keeper Gunn was caught in no man's land, this left them 2-0 early on and with a mountain to climb. Despite their poor performance, they did have opportunities that, if scored, would have made a game of it. They should have pulled one back immediately.

Marcelo Bielsa has been sacked by Leeds United after a run of poor form that saw his former side suffer several heavy defeats. The 66-year-old Argentine was appointed in June 2018 and leaves with the Whites two points above the relegation zone. Under Bielsa, Leeds finished ninth last season on their return to the Premier League after a long absence. The video below contains his final interview as Leeds manager. Footage courtesy of BT Sport.   However, Saturday's 4-0 defeat by Tottenham meant they had lost their past four games by an aggregate score of 17-2. Leeds had finished mid-table in the Championship in six of the previous seven seasons before Bielsa's arrival. After they lost in the play-offs to Derby County in the 2018-19 season, Bielsa's team was promoted as winners of the Championship in July 2020. pic.twitter.com/HlwvNSUExb — Leeds United (@LUFC) February 27, 2022 The best reaction  Liam Cooper tweeted: "You United a club, a city & a team going nowhe

Middlesbrough 3 - 4 Leeds United  Promotion-chasing Leeds United climbed to second in the Championship after a thrilling and sensational victory at Middlesbrough that ended their three-game winless run.
