Leeds United and Manchester United will face each other on Wednesday.
Championship club Leeds will take on Premier League outfit United in a pre-season friendly in Perth on Wednesday.
The Whites have not played in the Premier League since 2004, while the Red Devils have been hugely successful in England and in Europe over the years.
Ahead of the match in Australia, Leeds defender Cooper has given his take on the rivalry between the West Yorkshire outfit and United.
Cooper told Ftbl.com.au: “Being a boy growing up in England, you always knew of the Man United and Leeds United – you can call it hatred back home. The games were always good games.
“For sure (it still exists). You feel it as a footballer, and you feel it as a fan. It will be exciting. I think it adds a bit more spice to the game.”
Upcoming season
Both Leeds and United will be expecting big things in the upcoming 2019-20 campaign.
While the Whites will be aiming to finish in the top two of the Championship and clinch automatic promotion to the top flight of English football, United will be challenging for a place in the top four of the Premier League.
Wednesday’s match between Leeds and United may be a friendly, but it will be very thrilling and feisty.
