Former England defender turned popular football pundit Gary Neville has suggested that Leeds United’s rivalry with Manchester United is that of a ‘deep hatred’, which is more than the Red Devils’ rivalry with Premier League leaders Liverpool.
Liverpool and Manchester United are the two most successful clubs in England, and they share a long-standing rivalry. However, according to Neville, there was a ‘real nastiness’ in the rivalry between Leeds and Manchester United.
The Sky Sports pundit has claimed that the two clubs shared a brutal rivalry when Leeds were in the Premier League. The clashes between the two sides were more intense than it was with Liverpool.
