Though United were on the brink of relegation, fans didn’t lose their sense of humour and sustained an atmosphere that Foden found intimidating.
"It can be scary, definitely,” Foden said.
"They feel so on top of you. Always shouting, throwing paper at me last time, but you know I enjoy them occasions, playing against big teams like Leeds and the atmosphere they create.
"I think it's good for us, it’s good for the Premier League as well to have atmospheres like this.”

Hide AdLeeds United manager Jesse Marsch says a decision is yet to be made on Patrick Bamford’s availability against Brighton.
The striker has not played since he was brought off at St Mary’s after moving awkwardly during the first half of United’s 2-2 draw with Southampton.
Marsch said he had a close call to make ahead of last weekend’s Chelsea fixture – and again, he’s in the same position as Bamford moves close to full fitness.
“The big question mark is Patrick Bamford,” said Marsch. "We think he's doing well and moving forward.
