Ferguson: Liverpool rivalry fierce, Leeds frightening

ALEX FERGUSON has admitted it was a “frightening” experience to be around the Manchester United team hotel in Leeds on Tuesday afternoon and likened it to a scene from the film Zulu.

Twenty-one supporters were arrested around the Elland Road encounter, with fans of both sides aiming insults at each other during United’s 3-0 Carling Cup triumph.

Visiting fans held up a banner depicting ‘Istanbul’ — a reference to the two Leeds fans who were killed in Turkey 11 years ago, with their home counterparts responding with taunts about the Munich air crash.
