What about when they were winning the league in 1992 and were our main challengers the following season?

...................

Liverpool were still our rivals then and after that City.

I don't like Leeds, but that is because of their ignorant fans more than any kind of rivalry.

@Unitedredmacca,

You must be younger than 20 then as they were the competition back when the Premier League was starting out.

..........................

I could level the same accusation at you. Because Leeds have never really been our rivals.

There was proabably a six year period when United and Leeds were rivals from around 68 - 74. Nothing more than that really.

How better could they have been had they bought into Cloughie?

@Vidicschin,

Yeah Liverpool have always been our biggest rivals, I was just explaining why I picked Leeds over Man City. It could also change in the next few years if Man City remain proper competition and Leeds stay where they are.

Over the next 10 seasons we had some great matches with them before they started slipping down the leagues.

It was all about Liverpool still for me.

Leeds were never ever as big a rival as Liverpool were

Arsenal, Blackburn and Chelsea have won league titles but are not even close to Liverpool or City when it comes to rivalry (In footballing terms yes but that's it)

Are you a Manc?

It would

I don't know any Manc reds who would class Leeds as a rival comparable to City

By Manc you mean from Manchester?

No, Im from Northern Ireland.
