Anthony Elanga struck on the head with coin as Man Utd celebrate goal vs Leeds

"Fernandes with a little bit of skill, rolls it into Elanga's path and you'd expect him to finish that."

United and Leeds share a fierce rivalry and tensions also boiled over on the pitch, with plenty of strong tackles made throughout the afternoon.

Nine players were booked during the game, including six for Leeds.

Discussing the rivalry between United and Leeds, Neville once said: "When we went to play at Leeds, it was brutal.
