Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has claimed that the police advised him against opening a bar in Leeds after he moved between the two Premier League clubs more than 20 years ago.
Man United and Leeds go head-to-head in the English top-flight this week in a fiery doubleheader. Jesse Marsch's side will make the trip to Old Trafford on Wednesday, with Erik ten Hag's men travelling to Elland Road on Sunday afternoon for the reverse fixture.
The original Premier League match between the two sides was postponed in the wake of The Queen's death in September and now the two rivals face a short and sharp battle for bragging rights this season. There is no love lost between the two clubs and Ferdinand knows that better than anyone.
