Ferguson, the legendary former Manchester United manager, was present at the stadium and appeared in a video that spread on social media.
The Leeds fan can be seen looking towards Ferguson and repeatedly shouting: “Fergie! Fergie! Fergie!” When Ferguson looked up in the supporter’s direction, the man added: “You’re a scoundrel!”
