Man Utd mascot Fred the Red taunts Leeds fans before being doused in beer

  /  autty

Manchester United mascot Fred the Red caused quite the scene by taunting Leeds fans before their pre-season friendly in Australia.

Stoking up the pre-existing tension between the two sides, the United mascot bent down and wiggled his backside in front of a contingent of Leeds supporters ahead of kick-off.

You can imagine the reaction it provoked. The Leeds fans responded by giving Fred the Red the two-finger salute while one fan doused him in beer.

It was the first meeting between these old rivals for nearly eight years and it attracted a near sell-out crowd at the Optus Stadium.

Despite Leeds naming a strong side, it was Fred the Red who had the last laugh as United ran out comfortable 4-0 winners.
