What happened to Alex Ferguson in Leeds vs Man United as footage emerges online

There is absolutely no love lost between Leeds United and Sir Alex Ferguson.

The long-serving Manchester United manager, who stepped down in 2013, was a regular scourge of the Whites during his heyday.

The 84-year-old was in attendance at Elland Road on Sunday as Leeds played out a 1-1 draw with the Red Devils.

Ferguson witnessed his former side take a first-half lead through Bryan Mbeumo, who rolled in from Youri Tielemans' cross.

But Dominic Calvert-Lewin levelled things after the break, as a tetchy encounter between two fierce rivals ended all square at 1-1.

A report has now shared what happened as Ferguson was leaving Elland Road following the conclusion of the game.

Alex Ferguson abused after Leeds draw vs Man United

The Mail Online has shared details of the operation getting Ferguson into Elland Road safely.

The report shared how Ferguson arrived at Elland Road in a chauffeur driven car, accompanied by four police outriders.

Ferguson was helped into the stadium and to his seat without incident, with the former Man United boss using a walking stick and wearing a protective boot as he recovers from an Achilles injury.

However, the report also shared how Ferguson was verbally abused by a supporter on his ways out of the ground.

Video footage has emerged online of the incident, which MOT Leeds News has chosen not to share as it includes an offensive insult.

Ferguson won 20 of 36 matches against Leeds during his time as Man United manager, with the Whites emerging victorious on just five occasions.

Leeds-Man United rivalry runs deep

The footage of Ferguson leaving Elland Road is pretty unsavoury, though you can't help but feel something like this would be expected, not it should be condoned.

Ultimately, this is a rivalry that runs deep, Leeds just simply despise their cross-Pennines rivals and Ferguson is a much-despised figure in these parts.

The atmosphere itself was a topic of much discussion after the game, with the 2pm kick-off time at Elland Road not helping what should be a highly charged atmosphere from the stands.

But ultimately, everything passed without major incident, and Leeds earned another hard-earned point.
