In a recent interview, former Leeds United hero, Alan Smith, has opened up on what led to his departure from the Yorkshire club to their fierce rivals, Manchester United.
Smith came through the youth ranks at Leeds, and represented the senior side for six years. During that period, he scored 56 goals in 228 games in all competitions. He was a hero and fan favourite, but his controversial move to Manchester United didn’t go well among the loyal fans.
The 36-year-old midfielder says that he left Leeds because he had no other option. We all know that Leeds went through a terrible financial crisis and the club sold him in an attempt to balance their books.
