Leeds fan taunts former Manchester United foe.

Manchester United and Leeds may be separated by a division, but they will always be rivals.
More than a decade has passed since the duo faced off in the top flight, with Leeds relegated in 2004.
One former Manchester United player who will recall the rivalry was 2002 World Cup star Nicky Butt, who featured against Leeds several times.
He was at Wembley yesterday for England’s 2-0 win over Lithuania, and was spotted by an eagle eyed Leeds fan, who began chanting for the Yorkshire side in deliberate earshot of Butt.
Butt gave a quick smile, before pointedly ignoring the fan, resisting the urge to bite back.
Butt is currently Manchester United’s head of coaching at their academy, tasked with bringing kids through the system he once came out of.
He may be having the last laugh, having recently acquired Leeds youth team goalkeeper Theo Richardson, the club website reported last week.
