Why Leeds United could face fierce rivals Manchester United twice in just five days

Leeds United could end up playing their historic rivals Manchester United twice in five days next month, evoking memories of the time the two sides meant three times in less than three weeks during the 1991/92 season.

The 'trilogy' of matches from that season has become infamous after the close matches combined with the close proximity of all three heating up the rivalry between the two sides that was to come throughout the rest of the 90's.
