The Roses rivalry
One of English football's fiercest rivalries
The rivalry between Leeds United and Manchester United is one of the most intense in English football, rooted in the historic Wars of the Roses conflict between Yorkshire and Lancashire. The red rose of Lancashire faces the white rose of Yorkshire in what is always a passionately contested encounter.
The rivalry intensified during the 1960s and 1970s when both clubs were competing for major honours, with Leeds under Don Revie and Manchester United featuring legends like George Best, Denis Law, and Bobby Charlton. The 1965 FA Cup semi-final is often cited as the birth of the modern rivalry.
Head-to-head record
In 111 competitive meetings, Manchester United have won 49 matches, Leeds United have won 26, with 36 draws. Manchester United have been dominant in the Premier League era, losing just four league matches against Leeds since the competition's inception in 1992.

Key players to watch
Leeds United's star players
Dominic Calvert-Lewin: The England striker joined Leeds on a free transfer from Everton and has been in excellent form with 7 Premier League goals this season, leading Leeds' attack.
Wilfried Gnonto: The young Italian winger provides pace and creativity down the flanks, terrorising defences with his direct running.
Ethan Ampadu: The Welsh international captain provides leadership from defence or midfield, offering tactical versatility to manager Daniel Farke.
Dan James: The former Manchester United winger, named Leeds' Player of the Year in the Championship, will be eager to shine against his former club.
Manchester United's key players
Bruno Fernandes: The Portuguese captain remains United's creative heartbeat, pulling the strings from midfield.
Bryan Mbeumo: The Cameroonian forward joined from Brentford and provides pace and directness in attack.
Amad Diallo: The young winger has emerged as a key player under Ruben Amorim, scoring decisive goals in big matches.
Kobbie Mainoo: The academy graduate represents the future of Manchester United's midfield.
Leeds United's 2025-26 season
Leeds United are back in the Premier League after winning the Championship title with 100 points, pipping Burnley on goal difference. Manager Daniel Farke guided the club back to the top flight after their relegation in 2022-23.
The club invested significantly in the summer transfer window, spending over £80 million on new signings. Key arrivals include goalkeeper Lucas Perri (Lyon), striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin (free from Everton), Lukas Nmecha (Wolfsburg), Anton Stach, Jaka Bijol, Noah Okafor, and Sean Longstaff (Newcastle United).
Joel Piroe, last season's Championship Golden Boot winner with 19 goals, has found opportunities limited this season with Calvert-Lewin's arrival, though Farke has called him the "best finisher" he has ever worked with.
Manchester United's 2025-26 season
Manchester United continue their rebuilding under manager Ruben Amorim, who arrived from Sporting CP in November 2024. The Portuguese manager has implemented his trademark 3-4-2-1 formation and is developing a young squad featuring academy talents alongside experienced players.
Summer signings included Matheus Cunha (£62.5m from Wolves), Bryan Mbeumo (£71m from Brentford), and Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig). United are looking to improve on their disappointing 15th-place finish in 2024-25.
