Not just back then.. Why the f... would you support another/rival club just becaurse some United fans are idiots?? Dont you think Liverpool fans have idiots as fansas well? There are idiots everywhere in life.. I bet that in your school/work there are a few idiots too.. I have never understood why people care so much if United have idiots as fans..it has nothng to do with you or United, those who try to paint that picture are also idiots.. Be proud of being United and try be the best you can be, then you beat those idiots
The difference in Real Madrid fans and Barcelona fans are there all to see.
One is more successful but also less supportive but Barcelona has more culture and a type of way of the club that you can really get close to and enjoy even as a neutral football watcher.
The way Barcelona fans for example treat Neymar, Suarez, Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets is completely different to how Real Madrid view players like Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale, Kroos, Modric & Casemiro.
I guess theres an element of needing that fighting spirit as theres a reason teams like Bayern, Madrid and maybe United (viewing league titles over CL's) are so successful - but its heavily reliant of craving glory over support and stamping any player down who doesnt deliver it.
I see fans at clubs like Fulham or Championship sides with packed full stadiums and im shocked at how much support they give such inconsistent teams.
I personally dont care about how successful United are because its the only club i have interest in watching since i grew up and it cant be changed. However i also believe one person isnt going to change a whole clubs ambitions & success - but a million people and there relative quantity and quality of support can; especially in the most competitive league in the world that has moved on from the 2 club competing per title as still seen in every other league to this date.
Do you see more support for players in quantity at United over hatred?
The way alot of people talk about our players is pure disgusting & the actions they take to get their mouths heard and its been labeled bullying by many players at United. They will all dance when Lingard scores a last minute FA Cup Winner but a game in to the next season they have completely forgotten about that & suddenly hate his lifestyle by assessment of things like their personalities.
Theres way to talk about players decline or not seeing their potential as i have even done with players like Hojlund but im also looking forward to them proving me wrong. Other fans would personally drive these players to the airport to get rid of them asap as ive literally heard 1000x or more.
