In tenth place is the rivalry between Manchester United and Leeds United. This is a game which involves two Northern English clubs in a fixture that is sometimes referred to as the ‘Roses Rivalry‘.

Despite the two clubs not being directly local rivals, there is still hatred between the two clubs and there has been for several years now, making the times they meet extra special.

This fixture has become scarce ever since Leeds were relegated from the Premier League to the Championship.
