Which former United player do you dislike the most?

Did start to somewhat dislike pogba and lukaku towards the end but it has long passed.

Probably no one really, not even tevez who I thought was good servant of the club when he played here and not Di Maria as I couldn't bring myself to care that much.

As a player, Mark Hughes was my hero. However as a manager, with his spells at Stoke, City and QPR I despised him. His interviews never showed an ounce of love for United. I get you work for your employer but he took it to the extreme.

Joined Chelsea after he played for us, scored a few against us and celebrated.

Never a United man, always suspected he was a dipper.
 
Di Maria by a large margin. Feck him and his flappy ears.

Andy Cole for f ing up in the really big games time & time again.

Di Maria for being a bit of a rat & looking like one.

Fellaini for being a dirty beggar with very little quality to his game.

Those are the 3 that instantly spring to mind.

Most baffling shout I've seen in this thread. We won the league in 5 of Andy Coles 6 full seasons at the club, not to mention the treble with some hugely important goals along the way
 
Tevez holding up that sign about Fergie really was a disgrace.
He showed himself to be a piece of shit as a human being.
I can't think of any other former player doing anything on that level.
Plenty of others are clearly wankers but not like that.

Has to be Ronaldo. Even if you wanted to ignore the horrible off pitch stuff, which I don't know why you would, hes still easily the most dislikable.

Moaning, whinging, petulant man child that shat on the club and used us for new contracts every chance he got. A guy that got a watch celebrating a goal against us, showed his six pack celebrating a goal against us and did a fecking interview with Piers fecking Morgan to entirely burn bridges with the club still has hordes of annoying fan boys celebrating everything he does, which makes him even more unbearable for me.

Can't wait until he fecks off for good.

Well said. Sums up my feelings exactly.

Who make the rest of top 3:

Di Maria
Sancho
 
Andy Goram, Mason Greenwood and Ryan Giggs.

Tevez behaved terribly after leaving us. Even my city mates despise him.

In fairness to that eejit, he later admitted he did not understand the depth of rivalry between Liverpool and us, and was fecked off we signed another left-back a season after he made player of the year.

Fecked up.

Paul Ince went down in my estimation (ho ho) after his Anfield 99 routine, but without that crucial point...

This is surely tongue in cheek, maybe it needs it own thread but Andy is one of the most under appreciated players and part of probably our greatest ever period of success.

Hated is strong but I never got over Heinze angling to go to Liverpool.

Giggsy, I love him as a player but what a bellwnd off the pitch.
 
Eli Zee said:
Ronaldo probably because he dives and acts like he was shot by a gun anytime he's fouled.

I hate players that do that. It is such a bad look to do that and then continue play 10 seconds later. If your reaction is that you are extremely hurt / In pain from a tackle, the ref should make you leave the pitch to be checked by medical staff before returning. That would probably curb this nonsense a good amount.

By this logic Bruno should drive you mad
 
Oh and my answer is Antony. Worst signing for money and talent we’ve ever made, horribly unlikeable off the pitch as well as on it, rumors over domestic abuse, and in general it’s not hard to see the squad themselves aren’t huge fans of him. The entire package of shit
 
Fellaini used to really wind me up.

Spent years watching successfull Fergie teams then suddenly had this 6ft 4 clumsy side show bob in the middle of the pitch causing chaos.

Of the ones that mattered, Giggs. I blame BBC for the sports personality of the year. Things always go downhill once the BBC officially endorse your character.

Ronaldo. I can't hate him but I get it. I just feel like he shouldn't have come back. Or if he had have come back into a club that still had standards it would have been ok.

Honourable mentions:
Lingard
Fellaini
Heinze
Pogue Pogba...sorry Paul Pogb....no sorry, Pogue Mahone
Click to expand...

How can you hate Fellaini, fair enough he was a massive reminder that the club had fallen to its knees, but he gave the club his all. He was massively limited and we are not a club that should be utilising his strengths, but he never did let the club down (other than not being able to control his elbows).
 
Ronaldo for me, by a long way.

I knew back in 2008 that he was an egotistical, self absorbed prick when he did his best to take the edge off our CL win by making that summer all about himself and his "dream move", and that clubs, team mates etc meant nothing to him - his only love in the world was himself. Him agreeing with Blatter and his "slave" comments was absolutely appalling.

Without Fergie's fatherly influence, his ego ballooned out of control and reached stratospheric proportions. I always knew that he would become a major problem as he aged, as his body would eventually stop being able to keep up with the demands of his ego, and that he would be an absolute nightmare for whatever unfortunate club ended up being stuck with him in his twilight years. Of course it had to be us!

I kidded myself for a while into thinking he'd grown up when he returned in 2021, but was brought back to reality very quickly with his 2022 summer antics of whoring himself around to whoever wanted him (no one), his on pitch tantrums and walking out of the stadium against Spurs, and finally his repulsive Piers Morgan interview (although I must admit, he was right in calling out the Glazers).

Now he's just delusional with his nonsense talk about how the Saudi Arabian league is better than Ligue 1.

I'm just grateful he's not our problem anymore. Can't wait until he retires.

Other top contenders are Tevez (feck you and your R.I.P Fergie sign, then pleading ignorance that you didn't know what it said), Sancho, Di Maria, Lukaku and Pogba.
 
I actually dislike Roy Keane. (There goes my chance of getting another like!)

Not as a player but the way he talks and acts like he knows everything in the world and everyone else is wrong.

Find him a bit too big headed off the football pitch for me and he kind of annoys me. I'm not surprised that he wasn't a great manager.
 
Tevez, Di Maria, Owen, Lukaku and Sancho.

I don't like what Ronaldo has become, but I could never actually dislike him after all the great times that went before.

This for an easy 1.Ronaldo.

2. Greenwood (he's hopefully never coming back)
3. Pogba
4. Sancho (soon)
5. Di Maria
6. Lukaku
7. Tevez
8. Lingard
9. Antony (soon)
10. Giggs
 
Giggs. No one else comes close for me as he was one of my heroes growing up and now I'm just disgusted by him.

I don’t see how any United fan can really. Sure the end was sour, but he gave us so many sweet moments they kinda outweigh the rest.
Same as I don’t understand the hate Rooney got for the who transfer request thing. He wanted to know we would keep winning, which seems fair enough to me.

I personally don't hate him at all but i was extremely disappointed by him and his time here. He also very clearly undermined Jose ("he fecked with the wrong baller" was apparently his actual words when he was sacked), his agent tried to get him sold virtually every summer and created drama before a do or die game against Leipzig which we lost, and it was just constant disappointment really. I don't think he was a bad guy but it was a bad transfer for all concerned.

Di Maria was far worse though.
 
Ince
Heinze
Tevez
Di Maria

Those 4 go without saying, I think they're pretty much universally hated by Utd fans. Pogba and Lingard used to do my head in while they were here and have since gone on to do absolutely feck all since they left. Not fans of either of them.

Michael Owen is too boring to even hate, he's just nothing.

Yeah but it's not "worst/most disappointing transfer" though it's "who do you dislike". For all of Pogba's faults, by all accounts he was extremely well liked at the club and performed better than a good amount of players while here (with brilliant patches of form mixed in) while not doing anything apart from danching and getting some haricuts in his free time. I don't blame him much for Raiola being a cnut because quite frankly Raiola has been a cnut for any of his clients, it's just the way he was. There have been far worse players and far worse humans that have walked onto the pitch at OT to have him earmarked as "most disliked" I think.

I couldn't care less about him.

However I do get pissed off with the amount of hero worship he still receives from his annoying fanboys (especially the ones claiming to be United fans) when he clearly doesn't deserve it.

Agree, and I’ve never understood why it became such culture in the sport to act like a pussy constantly when kicked or fouled. I understand the gamesmanship of diving or specific instances of trying to get someone sent off even if they are “dark arts” but my god Bruno acts like he’s been hit with a mortar round at least twice a game. Plenty of La Liga players do the same too
 
Gary Neville. Tedious gobshite fast turning into a parody of himself.

Giggs and Ronaldo for obvious reasons. Soon to joined - equally obviously - by Mason Greenwood.

Jadon Sancho. Absolutely pathetic.

Alan Brazil. Like Neville it's his career as a pundit that annoys the shit out of me. The absolute poster boy for the media's idea that all football fans are fecking idiots and that everything has to be reduced to the lowest common denominator. Can I add Robbie Savage here too?

Don't hate Fellaini as many seem to. Should never have played for Utd but that's not his fault and can't blame him for wanting to join. Sad fact is that he'd have walked into this present team.

This cnut, no one comes close.
 
Hargreaves chatted a lot of shit as a pundit and seemed to love City more than United.

Yes Pogba, because there were more expectations on him than of the aforementioned others. He grew his football at the academy, he was touted as the next big thing. He then left to Juve and SAF was criticized for it.

When he signed for a record, it was like the prodigal son coming home, and then he ended up proving SAF right with his inconsistent performances, to the annual winter injury/holiday. Despite having all the talent in the world to do anything he wanted in midfield. Can you honestly say he could not have been Iniesta, Xavi and Busquets rolled into one if he worked for it, he has all their skillsets.
