5 reasons why some fans dislike Manchester United

#2 Sense of entitlement

David Moyes was ignominiously sacked after being paraded as ‘The Chosen One’

Since Ferguson’s reign ended, it has been somewhat cringeworthy to watch as Manchester United fans bleat about their travails. David Moyes must have thought he had killed a litter of kittens judging by the anger and vitriolic abuse on fan YouTube channels and radio phone-ins after losses.

How dare he take a title winning side and fail so miserably? Shouldn’t he be able to just waltz into Old Trafford and succeed immediately. After all, he was ‘The Chosen One’.

The problem with continual success is that if winning becomes the norm, when it doesn’t happen, people don’t know how to handle it.

A disaster for Manchester United is finishing outside of the top four of the Premier League. Offer fifth in the English top flight to the fans of Blackburn or Charlton - real disaster clubs - and they would be utterly delighted. Fifth to Manchester United fans, Jose Mourinho or the club’s legion of former players is like the end of the world. “This is not Manchester United, the United way”.

The world does not owe Manchester United anything. Period.
