Leeds United have faced backlash after some supporters booed during a pause for Ramadan fasting at their match against Manchester City. The club acknowledged the incident was disappointing and said they are investigating why it happened. Manager Daniel Farke suggested fans were unaware of the pause's purpose, believing it was related to City's tactical break in their previous meeting.

Several fans emailed the club expressing anger at the lack of public response, with one supporter saying they were deeply disturbed by the incident. Leeds' supporter liaison officer confirmed the club is looking into preventing similar incidents. The pause occurred during the first half when City had three Muslim players - Rayan Cherki, Rayan Ait-Nouri, and Omar Marmoush - in their starting lineup.

Pep Guardiola condemned the booing, emphasizing respect for religion and diversity in modern football. Anti-discrimination group Kick It Out called the reaction massively disappointing, while Leeds assistant Eddie Riemer admitted we need to do better next time. The club has privately acknowledged their communication before the City game was inadequate and plans to provide better information for future pauses during Sunday's FA Cup tie against Norwich City.
