Leeds United might have beaten Manchester United twice in the not-too-distant past, but it will come as a surprise to some that Leeds’ last win at Elland Road against Man United was in 2002.

Leeds’ win last season against Michael Carrick’s side came at Old Trafford, as Noah Okafor scored a brace. The previous win before that was Jermaine Beckford’s iconic FA Cup moment, under Simon Grayson.

The last time Leeds beat Man United at Elland Road was 24 years ago. He isn’t well remembered among Leeds fans, but it was Harry Kewell who scored the only goal of the game, heading in an Ian Harte cross.

While it is Leeds’ last win at Elland Road against their bitter rivals, the game is largely remembered for Rio Ferdinand’s move to Old Trafford – with Leeds fans left fuming at the former West Ham man’s decision.

Where are they now? The Leeds XI that beat Man United in 2002

Paul Robinson

Robinson would leave two years after the 1-0 win, playing 119 times in all competitions for the Whites. These days, Robinson is a commentator, mostly on BBC Radio 5 Live and sometimes appears as a pundit.

Danny Mills

Tough-tackling Mills is renowned for giving some slightly controversial and bizarre views on TalkSPORT. He is an investor in a private equity firm known as Enact, and an ambassador for neural charity Shine.

Leeds fans, give us YOUR score predictions for the Man Utd game 👀

It's going to be a BIG one at Elland Road 🔥

Jonathan Woodgate

Woodgate will return to Elland Road for the first time since many fans believe he sold his soul, with Woodgate currently on Carrick’s coaching staff at Man United. Jason Wilcox might be in the stands, too.

Dominic Matteo

Unlike Woodgate, Matteo remains loyal to the club he played 146 times for. The ex-Liverpool man is often on LUTV and could be today, working as an ambassador after overcoming a brain tumour in 2019.

Ian Harte

Harte has entered the world of footballing agency and has often represented many youngsters coming through the Leeds academy. His biggest client has likely been Jack Clarke, who joined Spurs for £10m.

Alan Smith

Having lost any love from Leeds fans when he joined Man United in 2004, Smith now lives in Florida and works as a youth coach at the XL Soccer World Academy in the Orlando area. Rarely seen on these shores.

Lee Bowyer

Bowyer has become a manager, taking jobs at Birmingham City and Charlton before a bizarre 14-game spell as manager of Montserrat’s National Team in 2025. He won just four matches and is without a job.

Olivier Dacourt

An orchestrator on the pitch, a film producer off of it. Frenchman Dacourt made his debut as a producer last year with Sur la route de papa. Also works as a renowned pundit on the French channel Canal+.

Nick Barmby

A brief spell in management and coaching at the elite level took up England star Barmby’s time initially after retiring, but since then, he has been more involved in youth coaching at a grassroots level.

Mark Viduka

Australian striker Viduka is now renowned for living in Zagreb, Croatia, where he has bought a coffee shop and sometimes plays music. From the heights of nearly joining Milan, to serving espressos.

Harry Kewell

Kewell is nicknamed Judas by Leeds fans after leaving Liverpool for Galatasaray. Recently, he moved to Vietnam to take over Hanoi FC, where he has won 12 of 20 games after spells in the Football League.

Subs:

Lucas Radebe, Eirik Bakke and Stephen McPhail all came on as Terry Venables secured the 1-0 win. Radebe has predicted Leeds will beat Man United on Sunday, as Daniel Farke eyes another scalp.
