Leeds supporter condemned after confronting Alex Ferguson during Manchester United draw

Leeds and Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw in the English Premier League at the weekend, but the match was followed by criticism of a home supporter who directed an insult at Alex Ferguson.

Ferguson, the legendary former Manchester United manager, was present at the stadium and appeared in a video that spread on social media.

The Leeds fan can be seen looking towards Ferguson and repeatedly shouting: “Fergie! Fergie! Fergie!” When Ferguson looked up in the supporter’s direction, the man added: “You’re a scoundrel!”

The supporter was widely criticised and insulted in the comments beneath the video. Some of the responses used language even stronger than the abuse directed at Ferguson.
