The Leeds United boss took in another side’s game on Sunday.
Leeds United supporters are reacting on Twitter after their manager, Thomas Christiansen, was spotted at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Christiansen, whose Leeds side beat Queens Park Rangers 3-1 the previous day, posed for selfies with Manchester United fans both inside and outside of the stadium, which hosted the Red Devils’ 2-1 derby defeat to Manchester City.
The Dane’s appearance has provoked a mixed reaction from Whites fans, with many angered by his decision making – given the club’s rivalry with Jose Mourinho’s side – while others are playing down its significance.
And for those in the former category, it’s perhaps worth remembering that Christiansen – who played alongside Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola at Barcelona – is a supporter of Manchester United’s other main rivals, Liverpool, anyway [as reported by BBC Sport in June].
This is what’s being said on Twitter…
Christiansen replaced Garry Monk at Leeds in June and has led the Whites to seventh in the Championship – four points off the play-off positions, but one above Monk’s Middlesbrough.
