They fell into obscurity years ago. Nobody cares about United anymore. Liverpool, yes, but not United. They aren’t relevant and haven’t been for some time. I think it was a game this season where they were the first club where a game should’ve been broadcast, but nobody bought the rights to it. Something like that. Talksport came to the rescue.
The media keep them relevant. They hype them up at every single opportunity. Even if they were getting beaten in every game they'd big up their players, their crowd, their manager, anything. They just put them at the top of the headlines no matter what. At the same time they downplay our achievements and the 115 charges bollocks is manna from heaven for them.
