Leeds United and Manchester United fans react to Augustin snubbing The Reds in favour of Elland Road

There is absolutely no love lost between the White Roses of Leeds United and the Red Roses of Manchester United as the old adversaries still remain fierce rivals today, even after the Whites having a sixteen year hiatus from the top-flight.

In that time there has been stark contrast in the fortunes of both clubs, with Manchester United enjoying great success, even though their fortunes seem to be on a downward spiral lately, and Leeds United enduring a fall from grace that has been very rarely seen due to very poor financial management over a variety of different owners, but now they are within touching distance of a return to the big time.

But the latest bout between the two sides has resulted in a resounding win for West Yorkshire.

Leeds successfully signed Jean-Kevin Augustin from German side RB Leipzig yesterday morning, a deal that has turned many heads with it’s profile and one that could be the difference in gaining promotion or not, but as revealed this morning by David Ornstein of The Athletic, Leeds beat their old foes to his signature, making the deal ever-more sweet for the fans of the Whites.

Here is how some of those fans from both camps reacted to the news…
