Some of my friends are curious as to why
Manchester United Football Club
cap (a poem)
Leeds United Football Club
Why is it called
Rose Derby
Why are Manchester United and Leeds United sworn enemies, let me give you a brief answer to this question.
The Roses rivalry is a soccer rivalry between two soccer clubs in the north of England - Leeds United and Manchester United. The rivalry stems from the War of the Roses between Lancashire and Yorkshire in the 15th century, which created a strong animosity between the citizens of the two areas.
Although Leeds and Manchester are up to 40 miles (64 km) apart, maintaining tradition and a strong feeling can still be seen in both soccer clubs.
Independent research based on a census of fans states that a number of clubs in English soccer view Leeds United and Manchester United as rivals, putting the two clubs in one of the top three spots for most rivals.
