Manchester United and Leeds - but United did do their bitter rivals a favour in the past over the deal that saw Eric Cantona shipped off to Old Trafford.The fiery Frenchman etched his name into United folklore after his rotten stint at Elland Road.Cantona netted 82 times after joining the Red Devils, with his goals instrumental in United ruling the roost in the mid-90s.Inspired by their maverick frontman, United won four Premier League titles in five years before Cantona hung up his boots at the age of 30.But despite the 55-year-old's unprecedented success at Old Trafford, Leeds could hardly wait to ditch him after a row with former boss Howard Wilkinson back in 1992.However, there are contradicting tales as to just how much United paid to prise the hitman away from Leeds.And despite historic claims that United paid £1.6million for Cantona's services, it's since been alleged by former United chairman Martin Edwards that the club only paid a £1m - and they agreed that Leeds could claim that they'd banked a greater fee to appease their fans."I am in my office and Bill Fotherby rang and asked about buying Denis Irwin.
