I'm not convinced this 'Manchester = united' when speaking to people overseas is true at all.

It's more of a generational thing in my experience.

I was born and raised in Manchester, but have been lucky enough to find a career that has allowed me to live and work around the World. Anytime I've chatted about where I'm from and mention Manchester, the first question tends to be "City or united?". Certainly with people 30 or under.

Mrs Munson is American, and we live on the East coast. All of her nieces and nephews and their friends (all in their late teens/early 20's) know as much about City, if not more, than united.

I work for a major network's streaming platform over here. I get paid to study trends, views, etc. and subsequently advise on content production. I know for a fact that the Manchester = united tide has shifted 'massively' over the last few years and will continue to do so.

To be fair, anyone under 30 has spent their adult life with a very successful City team, so it's not surprising the narrative has changed

Yeah, never thought of it like that before. I'm late 50s and we were good till I was 16 then 30 odd years of shite. But it was good for the old 'character building'.

Suits me fine. After the the derby l saw some of the watchalong compilation, noting that they always call their team Manchester United no matter how many times they refer to them. I never put Manchester before City unless l am abroad or in some distant part of UK.
All this using the full version even by Mancunians is weird and seem to be done by design.

They're many united's but only one City.

I’ll venture any potential change may have started in the very recent past, given our continued successes of late.

However, the CFG plan was hatched long before 2012!

And only one city for me.

Everyone laugh at Simon Stone part 201:

"Manchester United privately think what has happened at Stamford Bridge underlines the value of their business model."

Goes on time and time again about our owners yet if he had the chance to make big money by selling to the " dirty oil arabs" he would have took the dollar. Just a Jelous shite talking wanker.

Maybe he had a meeting scheduled but was late cos the dozy Fuck had his watch stolen!

I have never seen that! It does perfectly illustrate what a useless cockwomble he is. Didn't he put someone in his "team of the week" that didn't play?
