Peter Reid has warned about a United backlash:

"They'll get on with it. They're always at their best when
they have their backs against the wall."

Youngster James Milner said:

“It’s obviously the big one. There is a great rivalry and,
coming from Leeds, I know all about it and what it means.

“I went to many games as a fan and I managed to play at Old
Trafford last year. I hope to be involved again this
weekend.”

Doug Smith, the Leeds ticket office manager, said: "We have
done everything we can to stop tickets falling into the
wrong hands.

"Any away supporters spotted in home areas will be escorted
out of the ground by stewards."

Well if by everything you can you mean that you have dropped
the United allocation to a unsatisfactory level, put your
tickets on open sale and then asked tricky questions such as
“You are a Leeds fan aren’t you? Good, where would you like
to sit?” to weed out any Manchester United fans then yes, it
looks like you have.
