Emergency before Leeds against Manchester United – fan is dead

Drama in the stadium

Emergency before kick-off – fan is dead

A medical emergency overshadows the game between Leeds United and Manchester United. In the end there is only sad news to report.

Before kick-off of the Premier League game between Leeds United and Manchester United, a tragic incident occurred at the Elland Road stadium on Sunday afternoon: a Leeds United fan died. The hosts announced this in an official statement.

“Leeds United is saddened to confirm that a supporter has sadly passed away at Elland Road ahead of our Premier League game against Manchester United,” the statement said. The club also said: “The thoughts of everyone at Leeds United are with the supporter’s family and friends at this exceptionally difficult time.”

The club’s fan was treated in the arena before the game began, but the emergency intervention apparently came too late.

The game between the “Whites” and the “Red Devils” ended 1-1. But the result fades into the background in view of the sad news.
