5 reasons why some fans dislike Manchester United

Manchester United players are despised for their antics and showboating

The Premier League has housed plenty of those players who you could only like if they played for your team. The rest simply despise them; Robbie Savage and the like.

Manchester United have had their fair share, that’s for sure, and the fact that most were so successful makes them even more irritating.

Roy Keane is never far from the headlines, even today. His forthright views on, well everything, are often just controversial to be controversial, and that snarling stems from his playing days. Was he ever happy?

Then there are the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, who spent most of his youth complaining to referees. It may be fine in Spain, but it doesn’t wash in the traditional heartlands of the Premier League.

Every edition of United seems to have at least one of these players who just gets on people’s nerves. Nowadays, the cringeworthy handshakes from Jesse Lingard, the dancing and hairstyles of Paul Pogba, and the incessant Zlatan Ibrahimovic chutzpah are what gets under people’s skin.

Maybe it is part of the deal when players sign, to be annoying?
