From Gordon Strachan to Rio Ferdinand: The 15 players to cross the Leeds United and Manchester United divide
The fierce rivalry of Leeds United and Manchester United will be renewed on Wednesday - albeit a pre-season 'friendly'.
Here, we've taken a look at the 15 players to transfer directly from Manchester United to Leeds United - vice versa. Scroll and click through the pages to see who they are:
Borthwick-Jackson was supposed to be at Leeds for the entirety of the 2017/18 season, however, was recalled just six month in due to limited opportunities.
The Scottish defender began his career in England with Leeds in 1972 but after six years in West Yorkshire, McQueen opted for Manchester United in a 500,000 deal.
Graham scored 47 goals in 260 appearances during his six years at Leeds, however jumped ship to Old Trafford when the Whites suffered relegation in the early 80s.
Following eight years at Elland Road, the Scotsman joined Manchester United for 350,000 in 1978 and spent three years at Old Trafford.
Cantona was prized away from Leeds after less than half a season as the Whites were crowned First Division champions in 1992. A 1.2m bid was submitted by Man Utd - and then boss Howard Wilkinson accepted.
Goodwin became the first player (on record) to make the dreaded switch, all the way back in 1960. He went on to spend four years at Leeds - scoring twice in 120 appearances.
