Sir Alex Ferguson was verbally abused by Leeds United fans during Manchester United's clash with the Premier League side at the weekend. The legendary Manchester United manager was in the stands to watch his former side take on their bitter rivals Leeds at Elland Road on Sunday.

A video circulating on social media has shown the 84-year-old‚ who was carrying a walking stick‚ appearing to exit the stands when he was heckled by a fan.
Fernandes has had a quiet season by his high standards. He has only created one 'big chance' - a superb long ball for Bryan Mbeumo against Ipswich - and is making just 2.6 chances per 90 minutes‚ his second-lowest total of any season with United.

Gary Neville has lauded Bruno Fernandes as Manchester United's best signing of the post Sir Alex Ferguson era after he inspired their 5-2 victory over Ipswich‚ but the club legend expressed concerns over the strength of their defence.

NATHAN SALT AT CROKE PARK: Manchester United edged out rivals Leeds United on penalties to win the pre-season Boyle Sports Cup inside a sold out Croke Park.

But Mbeumo scored a deserved equaliser and then a winner.
