Man Utd and Leeds issue joint statement slamming vile chants from fans at Elland Road

Both Leeds and Manchester United joined forces to condemn the vile chants heard from both sets of supporters during Sunday afternoon's clash at Elland Road.

Chants could be heard throughout the match, most notably during the first half when references to the Munich Air Disaster were chanted from areas housing Leeds supporters, with United fans also singing "Istanbul" in reference to the two Leeds fans who were killed during violence before the 2000 UEFA Cup semi-final between the Whites and Galatasaray.

Eight Manchester United players were killed in the Munich Air Disaster in 1958, with the club commemorating the 65th anniversary last Monday.
