Football rivalry
The
rivalry between Leeds United and Manchester United
, sometimes nicknamed the
Roses rivalry
,
[2]
is a
footballing
rivalry
played between the
Northern English
clubs
Leeds United
and
Manchester United
. The rivalry originates from the strong rivalry between the
historic counties
of
Lancashire
and
Yorkshire
, which is popularly believed to have its origins in the
Wars of the Roses
of the 15th century. Although the cities of
Leeds
and
Manchester
lie over 40 miles (64 km) apart, the tradition is upheld and this strong feeling can still be seen between the two clubs.
[3]
Independent research by the
Football Fans Census
has shown that, within
English football
, both Leeds and Manchester United are ranked within the top three clubs based on the number of clubs that consider them to be their rivals.
[4]
In the past, rivalry between the two clubs has gone beyond the action on the field at
Old Trafford
and
Elland Road
. Hostility became more intense over the years and during the 1970s, when
British
football hooliganism
was at its height, fights between the
Leeds United Service Crew
and Manchester United's
Red Army
, the club's respective
hooligan firms
, were commonplace and became known as some of the most violent clashes in British football.
[5]
Many people were injured in these encounters but violence between fans of the clubs has declined sharply since the 1970s for a number of reasons, mainly due to the general reduction in hooliganism. As recently as January 2010, prior to the two clubs meeting in the
FA Cup
3rd round, Manchester United manager
Sir Alex Ferguson
described the matches as "fantastic, feisty occasions" with an "electric" atmosphere.
[6]
The rivalry has also been labelled by
The Daily Telegraph
as "English football's most intense ? and inexplicable ? rivalry".
[7]
These encounters have been particularly scarce since 1982, the year that Leeds were relegated to the Second Division. Hooliganism was still rife among fans of English league clubs at this stage, and by the time Leeds returned to the top flight in 1990 the problem was less severe and has remained a lesser problem since. The rivalry and the hooliganism have been effectively curtailed since 2004, when Leeds were relegated from the Premier League. The teams met only twice between 2004 and 2020, and while polling showed Leeds fans still considered Manchester United to be their main rivals, Manchester United fans considered
Liverpool
to be their main rivals, followed by
Manchester City
,
Chelsea
, and
Arsenal
.
[4]
The rivalry was renewed in the
2020?21 Premier League
season, following Leeds United's promotion after winning the
2019?20 EFL Championship
, with the sides' first encounter thereafter ending 6?2 to Manchester United.
[8]
In terms of trophies won, the rivalry has been heavily in favour of Manchester United, who have won 68 trophies to Leeds United's 9.
Roots
[
edit
]
Wars of the Roses
[
edit
]
The rivalry is considered to be a
sporting
manifestation of the established rivalry between the counties of
Yorkshire
and
Lancashire
, which can loosely be traced back to the
Wars of the Roses
,
[3]
a series of
civil wars
fought between the rival
Plantagenet
royal houses of
York
and
Lancaster
for the throne of
England
during the 15th century. The battles contested during the wars were particularly bloody, especially the
Battle of Towton
, which took place just 15 miles (24 km) away from Leeds and is described as "England's bloodiest ever battle".
[9]
The colours of each football team's
home
shirts
fittingly correspond to the respective rose representing their historic county ? Leeds with a white kit, resembling the
Yorkshire rose
and Manchester United with a red shirt, like the
Lancashire rose
. However, Manchester United's colours have not always been red and Leeds only adopted their white kit in the 1960s, inspired by
Real Madrid
. There is a similar rivalry in the sport of
cricket
, in which matches are contested on a county basis. In this case, the
Roses Match
is the name given to games played between
Yorkshire County Cricket Club
and
Lancashire County Cricket Club
. Although the clubs cover the larger county region, Yorkshire are based in Leeds and play at the
Headingley Stadium
, while Lancashire play at the
Old Trafford Cricket Ground
in Manchester, close to the football stadium of the same name.
[10]
Manchester is now in the metropolitan county of
Greater Manchester
, while Leeds is now in the metropolitan county of
West Yorkshire
.
Industrial Revolution
[
edit
]
A direct rivalry between the cities of Leeds and Manchester sprang up during the
Industrial Revolution
in
Britain
during the 18th and 19th
centuries
. The entire country was going through an unprecedented phase of economic growth and Leeds'
economy
had grown rapidly thanks to the
woollen
industry
. Meanwhile, to the
west
in Manchester, the
cotton
industry began to flourish, with factories fuelled by the transportation of cheap
coal
down the
Bridgewater Canal
.
[11]
During the mid-19th century, Leeds had constructed the impressive
Grade I listed
Leeds Town Hall
, though the wealth which Manchester had acquired allowed them to retort by constructing striking architectural works of their own, such as the Grade I listed
Manchester Town Hall
. This served to establish the rivalry between the two cities even further.
[11]
Earliest meetings
[
edit
]
Manchester United were the first side to emerge, despite club football itself first
originating in Yorkshire
.
[12]
The club was founded in 1878 as
Newton Heath L&YR
by employees of
Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway
, with the company ? as the name suggests ? covering both historic counties. The club's new owners later changed their name to Manchester United in 1902.
[13]
Leeds had traditionally been a
rugby league
city so it was a while before the attraction of football finally appealed to the local people. An association football club was finally made though in 1904, when
Leeds City
emerged. The two sides clashed for the first time in the
Second Division
at Manchester United's
Bank Street
stadium on 15 January 1906 in front of 6,000 fans. Leeds City won the game 3?0, but United won the return game at
Elland Road
2?1 in April.
[14]
These matches proved to be both the first and the last times that the two clubs met, as Manchester United were promoted to the
First Division
at the end of the 1905?06 season and Leeds City were eventually forcibly disbanded due to financial irregularities.
[15]
A new club was formed under the name "Leeds United", and they began playing in the
Midland League
, taking the place vacated by Leeds City's reserve team. The club also took over Elland Road, which had been occupied by
Yorkshire Amateur
since the demise of Leeds City.
[11]
Leeds United were elected to the Second Division on 31 May 1920 and they met Manchester United for the first time at Old Trafford on 20 January 1923. However, the 25,000 spectators went home disappointed as the match ended 0?0. Manchester United claimed the first victory, and indeed the first away win, between the two sides, when they beat Leeds 1?0 at Elland Road a week later on 27 January. It took Leeds until the
1925?26 season
to gain their first victory, winning 2?0 at Elland Road on 3 October.
In the
1928?29 season
Leeds achieved their first away victory against Manchester United, with a 2?1 win at Old Trafford in the
First Division
. Leeds also won the fixture at Elland Road 3?2 and became the first of the two sides to achieve a double over the other (winning both fixtures between the two sides in one season). Manchester United's first double over Leeds, however, did not come until
1946?47
, when a 3?1 win at Old Trafford was followed by a 2?0 win at Elland Road. Neither side was particularly successful during this period though, and the two sides only met sporadically due to several promotions and relegations.
[11]
Busby v Revie ? the rivalry intensifies
[
edit
]
It was not until after the
Second World War
that Manchester United became a fully-fledged footballing power, as they picked up three
league titles
during the 1950s.
[16]
Matt Busby
was the man who had coached Manchester United to glory and he remained at the club until 1969. Meanwhile, across to the east, Leeds United had signed up former player
Don Revie
as their
player-manager
and he soon took the
manager
's post full-time. Manchester United's side during this era featured the likes of
Bobby Charlton
,
Denis Law
and
George Best
, while under Revie Leeds had gained a reputation as a tough, uncompromising side, with the likes of Bobby's brother
Jack Charlton
,
Billy Bremner
, and
Norman Hunter
. Another key member of Revie's side was the Irishman
Johnny Giles
, who joined Leeds from Manchester United for £33,000 in 1963.
During the
1964?65 season
, the two sides were drawn against each other in the
semi-finals
of the
FA Cup
for a chance to reach
the final
. The tie at
Hillsborough
was a very rough game ? the image of Jack Charlton and Denis Law punching each other and wrestling on the ground epitomised the spirit in which the game was played ? and it ended 0?0, with the
Yorkshire Post
commenting "both sides behaved like a pack of dogs snapping and snarling at each other over a bone".
[17]
The replay at the
City Ground
was tense and it took 89 minutes for Bremner to fire in the winner for Leeds.
[17]
The two clubs finished 1st and 2nd in the league that same season, both on 61 points, but the Mancunians won the title due to a better
goal average
.
[18]
The rivalry between the two sides carried on at full force throughout the rest of the 1960s and the 1970s. Leeds achieved both domestic and European success, winning the First Division title in the
1968?69 season
and the
1973?74 season
, as well as finishing runners-up five more times, and never finishing outside the top four places whilst Revie was at the helm.
[19]
Leeds earned a feared reputation for toppling European sides, including the likes of Juventus, Barcelona, Napoli, Anderlecht and Valencia; in doing so they became
Inter-Cities Fairs
champions twice and once runners-up,
[20]
and controversially came runners up in the
1973 European Cup Winners' Cup Final
and
1975 European Cup Final
.
[21]
Leeds new dominance was highlighted by the fact that in 1970 they came close to achieving an historic
Cup Treble
, however they finished runners up in both the league and FA cup, and were knocked out of the European cup at the semi-final stage. During this period Manchester United only won the league once, in the
1966?67 season
, and were at the end of several defeats inflicted by Leeds, including a 5?1 defeat at Elland Road in 1972,
[22]
they were relegated in the season Leeds became champions in 1974. However they had other successes, including winning the
European Cup
in
1968
, an honour Leeds have never won.
The 1977 FA Cup Semi-Final between Manchester United v Leeds United at Hillsborough Sheffield was labelled 'The Battle of the Roses' on the cover of the official match-day programme. There was extensive violent clashes between supporters outside the stadium both before and after the match plus during the match inside the stadium, with numerous arrests and injuries. Manchester United won the match 2-1 and went on to beat Liverpool 2-1 in the Final at Wembley Stadium.
In 1978,
Joe Jordan
and
Gordon McQueen
, two of Leeds' best players at the time, were both sold to Manchester United. This was tough for the Leeds fans to take, especially in the case of McQueen as he was a fan favourite. The following season, the two players appeared against their former club. McQueen was targeted in particular with
booing
and jeering at Elland Road and objects were hurled at him before he scored a headed goal for Manchester United to silence the home fans.
[14]
Renewal
[
edit
]
The Roses rivalry did not take place for nearly a decade because Leeds were relegated in
1982
, while Manchester United remained competitive in the First Division and in the hunt for honours almost every season.
Leeds eventually returned under the stewardship of
Howard Wilkinson
in 1990 with a newly strengthened squad that had finished as
Second Division champions
. The first two seasons after Leeds won promotion brought draws between the two sides in all four league meetings, though Manchester United triumphed over the Yorkshire side in League Cup and FA Cup ties during that time.
The last league championship before the introduction of the
Premier League
came in the
1991?92 season
, two seasons after Leeds' promotion, and for much of the season it was a straight title race between Leeds United and Manchester United. Thanks to the likes of
Gordon Strachan
(who was bought from Manchester United),
Lee Chapman
,
David Batty
and
Eric Cantona
, Leeds won the league by four points.
[23]
However, much to the surprise of Leeds fans, Cantona was sold to Manchester United for £1.2 million, later in 1992.
[18]
He would be the cornerstone of Manchester United's 1990s revival, leading them to the Premier League title on four occasions in just five seasons and he thus became one of the club's legends.
[24]
In 2001, he was voted their player of the century and, to this day, Manchester United fans refer to him as "
King Eric
".
[25]
On-pitch clashes continued to happen between the clubs, with notable incidents including the beginning of a personal grudge between Manchester United
captain
Roy Keane
and
Alfie Haaland
in September 1997,
[26]
a clash between
Ian Harte
and
Fabien Barthez
in March 2001,
[27]
[28]
and a tussle between
Robbie Keane
and
David Beckham
in October 2001.
[29]
Two Leeds United fans were stabbed to death
during a
UEFA Cup
game against
Galatasaray
in
2000
.
[30]
Many Manchester United fans paid their respects, leaving tributes at Elland Road, and there were even reports of Leeds and Manchester United fans embracing, with
The Independent
using the
headline
"Old rivalries forgotten as fans unite in grief".
[31]
However, by the time the two sides faced up in the league, a subsection of Manchester United fans unfurled
banners
bearing the words "
MUFC Istanbul Reds
"
[32]
and "
Galatasaray Reds
", glorifying the killers and mocking Leeds supporters. The Manchester United fans who unfurled these banners may have been retaliating to consistent taunting by Leeds fans about the
Munich air disaster
over the years (these chants have also been made by the supporters of many other clubs, particularly Liverpool), but these banners angered the Leeds fans, who retorted by chanting songs about Munich, and there were reports of seats being ripped up and confrontations after the game.
[33]
Leeds in the lower leagues
[
edit
]
After going through a period of extreme financial difficulties, resulting from huge amounts of money being poured into the club to help them reach the
UEFA Champions League
semi-finals in
2001
, Leeds were relegated from the Premier League at the end of the
2003?04 season
.
[34]
Alan Smith
, a local boy and firm fan favourite at Leeds, shocked the Leeds fans after their relegation by transferring to Manchester United.
[18]
The Leeds fans dubbed him "
Judas
" and his actions were made particularly hard for them to take as Smith had been noted for kissing the club badge on his Leeds shirt and he had said that he would stay with the club even if they went down. He had also previously stated years before on an interview with
Soccer AM
that he would never join Manchester United.
[18]
He was welcomed by Manchester United fans and soon became a fan favourite, the fans respecting him and his decision to join a rival club.
The two sides have rarely met since Leeds' relegation from the Premier League. A 2003 poll by the
Football Fans Census
showed that while Leeds fans still consider Manchester United to be their main rivals, Manchester United fans consider
Liverpool
to be their main rivals, followed by
Manchester City
,
Chelsea
and
Arsenal
.
[4]
On 3 January 2010, the teams met for the first time in nearly six years in an
FA Cup
Third Round tie at Old Trafford. Despite being 43 places lower in the league than their rivals, Leeds United won the match 1?0, giving them their first win at Old Trafford for over 28 years.
[35]
The clubs were drawn to meet in the third round of the
2011?12 Football League Cup
. The match was played at Elland Road on 20 September 2011, with Manchester United winning 3?0. The current gulf in resources of the two clubs was illustrated by Manchester United resting many regular first team players yet still comfortably beating a near full-strength Leeds side.
[36]
After the match the
West Yorkshire Police
opened an investigation into 'disgusting' chants from both sets of fans, about the Munich air disaster and the murder of two Leeds fans in Turkey.
[37]
Back in the Premier League
[
edit
]
The clubs met again in the
2020?21 Premier League
, after Leeds got promoted by winning the
2019?20 EFL Championship
. Their first Premier League meeting in nearly 17 years resulted in a 6?2 loss for Leeds at Old Trafford, followed by a 0?0 draw in the reverse fixture at Elland Road. The following season held a similar fate for Leeds as they were thrashed 5?1 on opening day at Old Trafford, this being the first game in front of a full capacity crowd at the stadium in 524 days. The latter game again featured controversial incidents involving both sets of supporters; Leeds fans were accused of singing about the Munich air disaster and aiming abuse at former Leeds and Manchester United defender
Rio Ferdinand
, while Manchester United supporters were filmed dropping a Turkish flag into a group of Leeds supporters in the away section.
