I don’t go to Old Trafford anymore
I gave that up by choice
But some have never been able to simply afford it or physically get there
To me that doesn’t make them any less of a supporter
They are simply a victim of circumstance
Manchester United is in the heart not the wallet 🇾🇪

[Cantona Collars AKA Larry @Cantona_Collars]

And there we have it.

76 former United players. Over 17,000 individual grades. Plenty of debate, disagreement and memories along the way 😂

The final results.

Sir Alex Ferguson gets the nod as manager, with Bryan Robson captaining the side.

Some grades I agreed with. Some I absolutely didn't 😂

But that's the beauty of it. This is your United.

Thanks to everyone who voted, debated and got involved over the summer.

It's been brilliant. ❤️🇾🇪

Man City cheated, egregiously, for years. The Der Spiegel emals were all real, and authentic. Yep, hacked, but real, and led to successful prosecutions from money laundering to sexual assault 4/n

Follow Up Fulham Protest ✊

Thank you to the thousands of fans who turned out before the Fulham game. Your presence mattered. It showed that fan culture at this club is still alive and still prepared to stand up when it is directly attacked. This action gained national and worldwide media coverage.

Protests matter culturally and on an emotional level. They let the club and ownership know that we are watching. That we are not going away and that we are not fucking happy.

This protest was about ticket prices, access, atmosphere and supporter culture. It was about the systematic removal of ordinary fans so football can be sanitised, globalised and sold back to us at ever increasing prices. This is not accidental. It is a choice being made by those who see football as a product rather than a community.

Protests are not and never have been a silver bullet. They require dedication, commitment and an unyielding belief.

Old Trafford 🏟️
Old Trafford is our home. Not a commodity. Not a branding exercise. Not a development opportunity. It is the last physical link many supporters have to this club, alongside terrace traditions handed down through families and generations.

Ticketing & Fan Culture 🎟️
We will continue to stand for fan culture and for affordable football for this generation, the next generation and those yet to be born. Football without supporters is nothing.

Responsible Ownership ⚖️
We want responsible ownership. Let there be no ambiguity. Not the Glazers. Not INEOS. Neither represent responsibility, accountability or respect for Manchester United or its supporters. Protests have never been about results, managers or signings. They weren’t in 2005. They weren’t in 2010. They never have been since. We will support this club and this team no matter what happens on the pitch. That support is unconditional. Our opposition to ownership that harms the club is not.

To those who mock, to those who sneer and to those who laugh while doing fuck all, it says more about the type of person you are than anything else. To those who seem obsessed by us (probably bots or idiots) but have been blocked by our automation, seriously get a fucking life. To the too cool for school crowd distracted by a couple of decent results and thinking this doesn’t affect you, it will. Ask yourselves where this road leads.

You will not be laughing when tickets cost £100 to £150 per game. You will not be laughing when you are sat in a soulless bowl stripped of identity and filled with Americanised bollocks. You will not be laughing when families can’t be introduced to our club. Everything that once made our club and English football the envy of the world is being hollowed out for profit.

We do not do this for recognition. We monetise nothing. We gain nothing. There is no hidden agenda. This is purely about love for our club and for those who passed it on to us in the right way.

That is our only motivation.

Family.
Club.
Community.

🚨One thing that has to change with Manchester United fans is this Player FC culture.

For years now, some players have been defended no matter what — even when it’s at the expense of the club itself. The badge should always come first, not individual agendas.

We’ve seen it happen over and over again. First it was Martial, then Rashford, then Garnacho, and now we’re starting to see the same thing with Mainoo.

Martial left United and is now playing God knows where — no top club wanted him. That alone tells you plenty.

Rashford is apparently “happy” being on the bench now. In the final yesterday he played just 7 minutes and there’s total silence about it. No outrage, no headlines.

Garnacho was one of our most-used players last season. Now he’s at Chelsea and can’t even get two starts in a row, struggling badly for minutes — again, nobody wants to talk about it.

And this season it was Mainoo. Some fans went as far as creating agendas against the manager, printing “Free Kobbie Mainoo” shirts, acting like he’d magically fix everything.

He’s played the last two games… and guess what? The same problems are still there.

This isn’t about hating players. It’s about being honest. Manchester United doesn’t need Player FCs — it needs accountability, standards, and the club put first.

The best clubs have competition in every position. Players fight for spots, push each other, and deliver together — not through fan-made agendas.

Just watch it now… if we stick with a 4-2-3-1, Amad and Mbeumo can’t both start at RW, and I’m already telling you what’s coming.

The same nonsense again. Instead of backing the team, people will start picking sides: Amad FC vs Mbeumo FC.

Supporting players is fine — backing them above the club is not. Manchester United is bigger than any individual, always has been, always will be. #MUFC

🗣️A CALL FOR UNITY AND TO CAST ASIDE DIFFERENCES

Some journalists, paid accounts, and bots will do everything they can to discredit and defuse any message or action that challenges this ownership. That’s expected, we have always had to put up with this.

We do what we do for one reason only, the love of our club. Nothing else. We have never monetised this. We have never sold access, clicks, or credibility, unlike others.

We put ourselves out there to defend and fight for our club, fan culture and for the next generation of supporters. We are just honest, hard working lads who refuse to be silenced.

Look around. Cut through the bullshit. They do not want fans united against the ownership, so they will do whatever they can to divide opinion and fracture support.

We urge fans to unite, stay the course this time, no matter any previous differences. We can all go back to calling each other 🤬 after if needed. Fans are not the problem. We are not the problem.

One unified goal: the removal of this rotten ownership and inept executive team.

Follow the truth.

Tomorrow belongs to those who see it coming.

[simon kelley @sikelley]

@AlternativeMUFC Couldn’t agree more with this take I expect we will be in the same position in another 18 months time. Nothing will change until the hierarchy of the club is completely ripped out and started over.

[simon kelley @sikelley]

@petesunitedPOV Not a chance everyone will back the next manager this fan base is far too toxic for that no doubt we will be in the same situation again in 18 months from now

[Adam @AdamJoseph]

Since this interview, Liverpool have conceded 10 (TEN!) goals in 3 games, losing 3-0, 3-0 & 4-1.

Know your place, stay in it.

[Manchester United Forever @UtdForever7]

🚨🗣️Pierluigi Collina, when asked about the most the greatest moment of his career:

"We were in the last two minutes, and I saw the Bayern players on the bench ready to celebrate their title. The fans were hugging each other in the stands waiting for my final whistle.

Then suddenly, Manchester scores two goals in two minutes and reverses the score. I will never forget the joy of the players and the English bench, it looked like lions roaring, in front of a cathedral silence on the Bayern side.

The United players were running like crazy on the pitch, while I saw a Bayern player lying crying, without hope, with enormous disappointment. I approach him, but I can't think of anything else to say to him other than "Get up and fight, you still have 20 seconds left!

But at that moment, I saw the true face of football, where players would give their whole lives in a stadium, with people shouting with joy and others bruised deep in their souls." #MUFC

🇾🇪 Standards vs Process: Why Both Matter

🔴 Is it just me, or has modern football conversation on social media been reduced to two extremes? Either you're demanding instant results and backing the sack after every defeat, or you're accused of lowering standards and accepting failure. As if there's no middle ground. As if you can't be both ambitious and realistic at the same time.

⚪️ You can absolutely look at a loss to Everton and say "that's not acceptable, we need to be better". That's maintaining standards. You can point out gaps in the squad, question team selections, criticise performances. All of that is fair.

⚫️ But at the same time, you can also recognise that Amorim is trying to change how this team plays, how they think, the entire culture of the club. That doesn't happen in a straight line. There will be setbacks. There will be frustrating defeats where old habits resurface. That's not making excuses, it's just understanding how change actually works in practice.

🔴 The two positions aren't contradictory. You can hold the club to the highest standards while also being realistic about the fact that getting from where we were to where we need to be is a process, not a light switch. It's the difference between saying "this isn't good enough, we need to improve" and saying "this isn't good enough, sack everyone and start again."

⚪️ One approach demands better while understanding context. The other just creates chaos.

A lot of people laughed when I said prime Rooney would destroy Van Dijk.
I was wrong.
I meant Rooney NOW would do it.

🚨🗣 Jamie Carragher when Manchester United lose: Amorim and his tactics can’t survive in the Premier League…

…but when Liverpool have lost 7 out of 8 PL games after spending €500m in the previous transfer window, he says Liverpool should spend more in January.

I guess punditry has left him. 🤡😂
