Quite frankly I couldn't give two hoots about Manchester United, Manchester City or Liverpool unless we meet em in the Cup.

If Liverpool fans had to choose between United or Everton winning the league they'd go Everton every time. Same thing.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...RonnieBrown likes this. -
Utd are done with now. Second club in Manchester and for Utd that's an embarrassment.
True people from Manchester won't want City winning the league at all.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...How likes this. -
It’s like how I’d PA ended up in the same division as you and Leeds, your fans would hate Leeds more than PA as there is a bigger sporting rivalry and also more non-sport rivalry that drives the Bradford/Leeds rivalryStop hovering to collapse...

Utd the so called biggest club in the world bothered about clubs in other Cities but let the club in the same city totally and utterly shame them year in, year out of late.

Outside of Utd though no one is fooled. We know Utd are the second club in Manchester and falling like a stone.
I don't believe the players want City to win the league as they know it would be heartbreaking for the nearest club to win the league AGAIN while they win Nothing(unless they do win the CL to be fair).Stop hovering to collapse...

And sure some of players may prefer Liverpool to win rather than City because of the nature of modern football clubs but trust me the likes of Lingard and Rashford don't fall into that category.Stop hovering to collapse...

Many people now say Leeds is the capital of the north.
As for the footballing side the only reason some Utd fans want City to win the league is because they've 20 titles and Liverpool 18.
Utd fans are an embarrassment really because they're now the second club in Manchester and seem happy about it! How the mighty have fallen.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand... -

And it’s not about living in the past, it’s about the complexities of rivalries that go beyond a small term amount of success. If the owners haven’t got bored and they don’t implode when Pep quits (as that’s been the Owners one and only plan) the transition to the next manage is where things get tough jon them then things may changeStop hovering to collapse...

I wouldn't even say what they are doing with the City Group really suggests too much long term ambitions. These other clubs are being bought very much as a way to 'financial dope'. The new kit deal for example is with City Group not City themselves and covers all but 2 of the clubs. Their previous deal was the same but with fewer clubs involved BUT City got a disptoporational amount of the fee paid. And most of their non-playing staff are on the books of City Group not City themselves with City just leasing them for limited hours thus cutting their non playing staff contribution to the FPP regulations much lower than they should be making it easier to to meet them. Again it could be a long term venture but it could be a short term measure to achieve their goal of winning the CL. I feel there is just a smuch chance of them having cut right back or sold up in 10 years time as them still being there pumping in money in 2050Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse...

Bottom line is that Utd fans are now turning into losers!! Because they know that they can't complete with City on or off the pitch and using the rivalry with Liverpool as an excuse.
Truth is Liverpool are over taking them as well!
Bottom line is even if Liverpool don't win it this season then they're the team that can challenge City and if City slip up in any year then it's more than likely that Liverpool will be the ones to win the league!
Utd are failing and deep down you know it and I find it sad and embarrassing that Utd can't concentrate on themselves to get them back to where they were.
As for your Rashford/Lingard comment we will see when Utd play City. See how small club Utd are now because winners want to win. Win evey match and I think these two players are winners. They'll go out to try to beat City. It's the Utd fans that have become losers! So Utd would rather not be in the CL then Liverpool win the league? Wow!! Seriously? Think the players will want CL and against City they will give it everything and rightly so.
What is funny also is they're doing a Liverpool. When was the last time UTD won the league? See while they concentrate on other clubs they're failing massively themselves! If I was an Utd fan I wouldn't care who won the league because I would be concentrating on my club and wanting them to get back to winning ways and become the biggest club in Manchester.
Now the fact is Utd are the smallest club in Manchester and that must hurt but get use to it because City will overtake Utd in winning the most titles!Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand... -
From a neutral point of view, I couldn't give two fecks about United vs Liverpool ('The biggest derby in England'), however I count down the days when Liverpool and City play and look forward to watching an exciting game of football.
Manchester United are in both their shadows at current.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...
