Manchester United legend Roy Keane has claimed it is "silly" for Leeds United players and supporters to "think they're as big as Man United", ahead of the two sides renewing their rivalry in the top flight.

The last time Leeds faced the Red Devils in the Premier League was back in 2004, when goals from Paul Scholes and Alan Smith saw both sides leave Old Trafford with a point after a 1-1 draw.Keane played in that game and, speaking to Sky Sports before the two sides locked horns once more, the former midfielder was asked about the rivalry."They’ll say Leeds will come and have a go at United, they’ll go toe-to-toe, and they always did," he said."I always think Leeds players and supporters probably silly of them to think they’re as big as Man.
