Manchester United hero Nicky Butt is hoping Leeds United will secure promotion to the Premier League this season because he misses the rivalry between the two clubs. Leeds relegation from the Premier League in the 2003/04 season coincided with Butt leaving United as a player after having spent 12 years at Old Trafford, during which time he won numerous pieces of silverware including six league titles, three FA Cups and the Champions League. Butt will be in charge when United take on Leeds in the FA Youth Cup tonight in what could be a feisty atmosphere at Old Trafford. Leeds have been given a 2,000 ticket allocation for the clash with the Yorkshire club expected to bring around 1,800 supporters to the game.
