What on earth is Fred doing at 6th on that list?

You sort of understand Ronaldo. He's always been an in your face player and bound to get abuse. Maguire puzzles me. Somehow some folks absolutely detest him.
So I've not just been imagining it. The toxicity of our fanbase is backed up by the numbers.
Sadly
Does it really surprise anyone?
The "X Player performance" threads in this place should be renamed "X abuse thread".

Hardly any surprises here. We have the biggest fanbase and we are massively underperforming year after year, the outcome is inevitable.
I would say there is a part of it that is that. But I reckon the larger amount of that will be from non-United fans who simply hate United and all things connected.
I know a lad who supposedly supports Villa, but they only make up around 30% of his football outlook. Another 20% is spent worshipping City and Liverpool while a full 50% is spent actively hating United.
Even after a decade of irrelevance on the field, don't underestimate how much we live on inside the heads of opposition fans.
Most likely it is, but how would we know for sure that the abuse was from our own fans? For example Maguire might have been abused after an England game by a whole host of fans.
More the size. This is why journos love a clickbait United piece or to link United to to a signing, it literally pays their bills.
Well, United are a famous club among fans and haters. You get more nutters.
By the way, what constitutes as abuse? Does "what were you doing, you jerk" constitute as abuse or you need something stronger?

Ronaldo is the biggest star in football and United are the most followed club it isn´t really surprising at all.
Damn. Graelish and Kane must be feeling pretty crappy to make the top 10 without even playing for us.

They happen to both be English as well and in the top 10
Top 10 list consists of 8 Man Utd players...
Definitely part of it particularly where Ronaldo is concerned but there is no way Fred is up there at no 6 due to non united fans. That is all our fan base, check out his thread in here for evidence that it is our own fans.
I wonder if we were winning leagues how different this would look

Racists, unfortunately.
Some of them are on this place to I bet, negative as you like here
Very different, but its still vile.
Probably the same, if not worse. If there's one thing that unites non-United fans, it's their hatred for United.
Not to mention the sheer size and success of United spawned a tonne of hate from other clubs. I'd be willing to bet a large number of haters just enjoy being a cnut online and don't support United.
The vast majority of people I know who also watch football aren't United fans, but all seem to hate United and tweet stuff about United more than any other rival team. I don't think this is down to solely our fanbase.
I agree, Ronaldo and Bruno are not likable to any other fanbase but Harry might be on our fanbase.
Yup.
Yeah that's a solid point on Fred.
I'm still convinced that there's Russian or bot involvement with a fair amount of that twitter abuse and in particular the racist stuff. There's obviously an idiot minority in every country, but I just struggle to believe there is still quite that many racist morons still in the UK. The Russians will target areas where they will see the most engagement and in football, that means United.
I'd say this place is just as toxic as Twitter. How do you deflect that onto opposition fans?
Wonder what it would be on this website?
Jesse would be considerably higher. McT would be up there too

No surprise that United players make up more than half of that list.
Christ. Talk about head in sand
A lot of England fans hate him too. Mostly just bandwagoning really.
I don't think that's true.
This place can be awful and the matchday threads a joke at times, but it's very rarely as toxic as Twitter can be and when it is, the individuals tend to be dealt with swiftly.
This is one of the many reasons why I, personally, avoid social abuse (apart from forums). It's just full of bile and hate and toxic masculinity.
Even here, I wouldn't dream about entering a thread of a Manchester United player with the sole purpose of flaming them. What's the point?
I just don't see why United fans would say stuff akin to "you can't polish a turd" whilst referring to a United player. Have opinions, have a voice, but at least make it constructive with a modicum of respect.
I still remember the abuse Darren Fletcher received. Think about that and think about the illness that the poor guy had that killed his career.
Don't we as a club receive enough negative glances without doing it to ourselves?
As a football fan I've browsed many forums, from Arsenal to Brentford, Norwich to Sunderland. I've never witnessed the amount of self- flagellation behaviour in those places that I witness here.

Why so?
this is correct, spend a day on twitter and the absolute obsession and hate for united from rivals is unparalleled. Also i have noticed like you alot of clubs that havemo rivalry, their fans seem to hate us. Villa and wolves fans can’t stand us, I’ve seen stoke and tottenham fans bantering us…
Spend a day on twitter or youtube comments and come back to me. Most hated club on planet earth
The underperforming players of an underperforming team get the most abuse is not really a shocker. Carry this out about 5-6 years ago and it’s a bunch of Arsenal players. Carry this out in the 1990s and it’d be bunch of Liverpool players.
As ETH quite nicely said in a pre-season press conference, we shouldn’t spend much time understanding why it’s happening and should focus on ensuring it won’t happen, namely by putting in good performances. Football is fickle as feck.

You've not been imagining things. Our fan base is embarrassingly toxic. I wouldn't blame any player for wanting to leave after seeing the shit show the fans have become.
Wouldnt surprise me most of that abuse is from our own United 'fans'.
United have the worst online fanbase..

If it's not United fans, how do you explain the abuse on here?
