Their rivalry goes back to the Wars of Roses in the 15th Century and the heated atmosphere between their Fans could still be seen. The Sun has reported that Kalvin Phillips would not be keen on a move to Old Trafford, given the old rivalry between Leeds and Manchester United and the sour taste that switch would leave in the mouths of fans at Elland Road.
