They have likely seen how people respond positively to stuff like paddy power ads where they rip the shit out of everything. I like it tbh, it feels more engaging, not that i gamble but it's a good way to pull the punters in. As you note and allude to, next week if Liverpool screw up they will get it, ok not their precious Liverpool but almost anyone else.

Sadly for Utd fans they are prime targets for a bit of ribbing, a cartoon of Ole hitting a dead utd emblem laden horse with a whip for example. Many footy fans would see a laugh in that. Pogba dawdling on the ball with a dream cloud thing showing him thinking of Zidane just before someone nicks the ball off him or something. Phil Jones, Sanchez and his cash/dogs, Lingard being a blingy 12yo in the body of a 27yo man. Those and more are prime comedy territory for witty buggers like Paddy Power, David Squires etc etc. Shame that :-D

From the comments :-

The author of this story is Simon Stone who for weeks has been acting as the BBC’s full-time reporter on Manchester United. We are not aware of any other club having a full-time BBC correspondent. Why have United been given one? Are there other BBC reporters waiting in the wings to work full-time on City, Liverpool, Spurs? Perhaps the BBC sports department could tell us.

Good point. BBC - when do we get our own reporter?

I stopped reading when a certain £100m player was curiously missed from this list



Angel di Maria, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and, more recently, Alexis Sanchez have all been bought despite, seemingly, their style being at odds with the manager's philosophy.
Big money has been spent on others; Memphis Depay, Radamel Falcao, Morgan Schneiderlin, Bastian Schweinsteiger and current squad member Fred, all of whom lacked either the fitness, ability or application for the task in front of them

RT @TeleFootball: Manchester United fans’ group open letter claims club will not be free of Glazer family takeover debt ‘for 158 years’ https://t.co/AEzDpxNepd

1/ Do the sad bastards think the Glazers give a fuck?
2/ Do the sad bastards think they will be around in their present form in a sport of the same format in 158 years?
3/ Do the sad bastards think anybody outside gives a fuck? But we do need to thank them for the laughs
 
Just like us they’ve made 2 signings. And Olé has had time to get his message across to his players - just like Pep - so there’s little difference there either. And we’ll be starting the season level on points. So anyone would surely be shocked if by May united aren’t level on points with us.

I just hope we have the edge on the goal difference.
