Man Utd striker Rashford: Leeds are back where they belong

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has congratulated Leeds United on their promotion.

After a 16 year wait, Leeds secured promotion on Friday as West Brom were beaten by Huddersfield.

Rashford wrote on Twitter: "As a United fan I'm happy to see Leeds United back in the Premier League where they belong. Congrats @LUFC."

However, the 22-year-old quickly deleted the tweet after some fans criticised him.

The two sides haven't faced each other often in recent years, with their last competitive meeting coming in the League Cup in 2011.
