Aston Villa legend Paul McGrath has taken a swipe at Leeds United on social networking site Twitter.

The former Republic of Ireland international central defender, who played for Villa from 1989 until 1996 and is a legend at Villa Park, made a cheeky response to a Leeds fan on Twitter.

Following the Villans’ draw with Blackburn Rovers away from home at Ewood Park in the Championship this past weekend, McGrath expressed his support for the club on the social networking site.

The former Manchester United and Derby County centre-back, though, also said that he is not happy that Villa are playing in the Championship at the moment.

A Leeds fan responded to McGrath’s tweet, and he has received a cheeky response from the 58-year-old, as shown below.

Leeds have not featured in the Premier League since 2004, but things could change soon.

Under head coach Marcelo Bielsa, the Whites are going strong in the Championship, and they could well end up getting promoted at the end of the season.
