Well now, in homage to a post made on Kamara’s excellent thread below, methinks this subject is worthy of its own scrutiny.
Now listen here Mancs ... because we are a single club city, (just to inform you in case you’re not aware), Leeds City went defunct many moons ago and, incidentally, out of those ashes was born our beloved Leeds United in 1919. So ... when the professional football world refers to Leeds United, our name can be abridged to the name ‘Leeds’ in the confident knowledge that they’ll be no confusion with any other club in this great city.
However with them lot, if the term Manchester (it’s ok - I’ve just disinfected my keyboard) is used, who on earth knows whether it’s Salford or Citteh that’s being referenced?
Ipso facto - that’s why we don’t have to always use the ‘United’ part of our name.
I hope you Mancs have learnt something (doubtful, I know) and are getting yourselves ready for a hell of a beating.
Leeds United will win 3-1. Paddy, Raphina, Rodrigo.
Have a good day all👍😁💙🏆
There’s only one United

Should be a great game. Goals galore I expect. So 0-0 😂😂😂
Whatever the result it will be interesting to see how they cope with our press and fitness.

I'll be honest, and its because I have a few pals that support other teams..
I refer to Manchester United as United.
Leeds United as Leeds.
Its just easier, and its universally recognized.
shoot me if you want - I don't care
