Having finished fourth the previous season, Leeds clinched the First Division title in the 1991-1992 campaign, finishing ahead of archrivals
Manchester United, which was only their second consecutive season as a First Division club. As champions of the Football League, Leeds United qualified for the
European Cup, which was rebranded as the
UEFA Champions League the next season. They lost just four league games all season, and were held to 1–1 draws both home and away by Manchester United (who also knocked them out of both domestic cups).
Eric Cantona signed for the club mid-season, making his debut against
Oldham Athletic on 8 February 1992, and scored three goals in the remainder of the season. Leeds clinched the title in the penultimate game of the season with a 3–2 win over Sheffield United. The first goal that day was scored by striker Rod Wallace, who had joined Leeds the previous summer from Southampton. ==Transfers==
