Survey reveals which clubs' fans hate Leeds United the most

Leeds United fans consider Manchester United to be their main rivals - but the same level of rivalry doesn’t flow the other way down the M62.

Some 82% of Leeds fans consider Manchester United to be one of their top five rivals, according to a survey run by LeedsLive .

That’s a higher percentage than for any other club in the country.

However, only 38% of Manchester United fans felt the same way when the same survey was run in the Manchester Evening News.

They instead consider Liverpool (88%), Manchester City (66%) and Chelsea (43%) more important, with Leeds United finishing in fourth place.

It’s a similar story in the Hull Daily Mail, with 77% of Tigers fans saying they dislike Leeds, which was the most for any club.

Only 3% of Leeds fans surveyed picked Hull.
