I’ll back brown up a bit here. He was over here for the Liverpool 7-0. He was an absolute gentleman really down to earth even after the game where you expect him to run he stayed and interacted with everyone. One the most down to earth players I’ve met
Dislike towards United players

I also think it’s slightly unfair to or dislike players for being shite.
it’s not really their fault they are shit, I doubt they choose to be, they don’t keeping picking themselves. It’s ok to not want them to play or sold but still have to kinda respect that they playing and trying for us.
I could have maybe looked a little bit round ince going Liverpool we had first refusal we didn’t take it, and Liverpool 2nd biggest club in England but he has forever bad mouthed the club since. He seems a major bitter old jealous man never positive thing to say. Similar with Owen we gave him his league medal and he seems to forget that is basically anti United on tv.
Tevez was never offered a permanent contract at United and prob went city out of badnessof but he was forever threatening and bad mouthing the club in anyway possible. Di Maria another leaves club bad mouths them poisions everything.
when heinze tried go Liverpool obviously I major hated him but after he didn’t bad mouth the club at every chance. He even said in interview he majorly regrets it he done it heat of moment after falling out with Fergie.
Ronaldo obviously tainted his status at the end but can’t be disliked due to his first spell, yes the interview was wrong but part of me thinks he had some good intentions in it highlighting to fans how shite things are behind the scenes.
greenwood goes without saying shouldn’t be allowed near or club again.
And Giggsy is an absolute cnut of man horrible person but I think I will still always love him for what he done for the club.
life story over

Agree with all of that
Young is an interesting one. He wasn’t at all popular to start off with; the general consensus was that he was an injury-prone diver and an unnecessary signing. Around the time of LvG’s arrival he unexpectedly turned into a never-injured warrior whose lack of quality was more than compensated for by his devotion to the cause. Plenty of online fans still didn’t like him, but the Old Trafford crowd really warmed to him.
If I don't know someone it would be pretty unfair to dislike then unless they were convicted criminals or you knew something bad about what they have done but look at characters like Mike Tyson and Kobe Bryant and their popularity regardless of what they did.

He was definitely popular at OT towards the end of his United career, I think the switch to fullback took some of the pressure off him and he did well there for us. I remember a heroic last-minute goal-line clearance that was a bit of a turning point for him (can't remember who is was against but it was at OT, think either late LvG or early Jose)
For me what players do outside the football pitch is absolutely irrelevant I'm sure many have questionable characters or do imoral or illegal stuff but if the press doesn't find out, we don't find out.
Giggs will be a legend for me regardless of what he did.
I will always dislike bad performers or players who just aren't up to the Utd shirt, those frustrate me enough times during games so that frustration grows into dislike or hate. Also the attitude towards the club during the player's career at Utd or after would impact my view on a player. Eg. Ronaldo who I adored during their initial spell but after his transfer the disappointment transformed into indifference and ultimately despise.
Keane, Scholes and Neville are such legends that no matter what view would they have as a pundit would change that. Also I really enjoy Keane's opinions and sometimes Neville's.
For the ones that go into punditry or have a media presence for other reasons, I will always separate the player from the media persona. Scholes might be my favorite United player ever, but he is somewhere between dull and thick as a pundit.
The ones I really tend to dislike from our current/recent players, are the ones that tend to place a much higher value on themselves than what is justified. Harry Maguire is the most obvious example, and other recent ones include Lingard, Henderson and Weghorst to some extent. Players such as McTominay or Fred I may dislike seeing on the team sheet or their performances, but they tend to give it their all and not spout off a lot of nonsense, so I wouldn't say I dislike them in the same way.

I don't think I'm bothered by the United pundits much. Some of it is a bit cringe-worthy but generally I don't care too much. Perhaps I just don't listen to them often. Neville is probably the most annoying of the lot if I have to pick one - Carragher is better than him.
It happened earlier than that as I remember.
Fans in the stadium are generally forgiving of attackers losing the ball as long as they give their all in trying to win it back. Where this was concerned, the contrast between Young and Di Maria couldn’t have been more striking.
I felt genuine hostility to the whole team last season. So much so I hoped Ten Hag would have binned them all and built a new team. He may yet still do that as I feel there are some amongst that squad he doesn't trust.
I can fully understand Rio getting a bit of stick lately over CL stuff - all brought on himself. Can't really defend him.
truly dislike probably tevez and di maria.. coincidentally both are argentine players
I didn’t like Pogba or Lingard. They seemed really childish and to me it felt like they didn’t care at all about the fans or the club. Ronaldos return, proved me wrong for about 2 weeks and then went exactly as I said it would. Toxic. We don’t need these players that think or act bigger than the club. We can find players who will always muck in for each other and who are still really special players. Our biggest problem is that we’ve failed to do that too often in the era of player power.
The only ex players I'm not fussed on is Di Maria , horrible cnut imo. There probably a few more but in recent times he's one.
Paul Ince told me to 'p*ss off' in Dillons on Moorcroft Rd in Wythenshawe when I was about 5 when I asked for his autograph. My gran went mad at him
Yeah I think alongside Arsenal we have the worse fanbase in the Premier League.
I mean who boos their own players (Young and Maguire) in Pre-Season games (asia & Australia) ?
In recent years the disrespect and scapegoating of our own like Rooney, Young, Fellaini, Maguire and Rashford worldwide has been telling about a majority of the fanbase who's opinions are heavily influenced by toxic Youtube cnuts like The United Stand etc
And people question why he was sold. He was an arrogant gobshitePaul Ince told me to 'p*ss off' in Dillons on Moorcroft Rd in Wythenshawe when I was about 5 when I asked for his autograph. My gran went mad at him
Greenwood, Giggs, Ronaldo and Tevez are the only ones I would say I dislike. All of them for obvious reasons.
I dislike players with poor attitudes and those who aren't willing to put in the effort. I don't dislike Weghorst for example, he tries his best even if he is shit
I dislike scumbags such as Giggs and Greenwood for obvious reasons

Never meet your heroes. I try to ignore what players say off the field - don't have interest in what they would have to say. Having said that, I used to like Maguire and was excited when he first signed for us. Seems lost in his own ego now though.
Some of it was down to his attitude, and that applies to other players as well, a lot of fans can overlook ability issues if they see that a player has the right attitude and try their best
That's why I dislike a lot of the shite that gets thrown at Antony and Weghorst, they may not be good enough ability wise but you can't fault their attitude and effort
On the flip side, some players, Pogba being a good example have a terrible attitude despite having the ability to be worthy of playing for us
Agree with all of that

Yeah I always thought the hate he got was unwarrranted, at the end of the day it wasn't his fault the club was run the way it was run during his time here and he always put in a shift and had some quality moments.Top pro as well.
Haters go with the territory. Put yourself in any lime light in any sport there will be haters.
Ive sat in the stretford end listening to hatred of various players for many years . There was always a scape goat. Giggsy when playing didnt escape hate from the moaners.I hated those slating him, the week after they would pick on someone else.

It's a modern thing, social media and the ability to instantly communicate is responsible for a lot of it
