It looks as though United fans aren't the only ones getting small ticket allocations for some away matches this season. United have reduced the allocation for Leeds at Old Trafford with the hope of reducing the chance of trouble between the fans. Leeds will give United just 1,300 tickets for the first encounter in Yorkshire on October 18 - with Peter Reid's side getting 1,900 in for the Old Trafford return on February 21.
"Both clubs have taken the decision to cut their respective ticket allocations reluctantly and are aware that the moves penalise the many decent, law-abiding football supporters who peacefully attend the games," said a joint statement released on behalf of the Barclaycard Premiership duo.
"But Manchester United and Leeds United believe that given the behaviour of a small but sizeable minority of away fans at previous games between the two teams, this is the best course of action to avoid further incidents of hooliganism and public disorder and to protect public safety."
Leeds and decent in the same sentence. Surely that must be a first.
