Have to say how nice it is to see them struggling in all areas on and off the pitch. Sadly they seem to have too many plastic fans too really fall far. A season or two at the bottom half of the table, a relegation battle and please god relegation would really be fantastic. They would then know what's its really like to be in the crap.

I've said it before the vast majority of their millions of 'fans' in South East Asia only "support" united because they're the highest profile team who happen to play in red and red is considered a lucky colour throughout that part of the world so these 'fans' want to associate themselves with it.

I expect most of these Asian 'fans' don't actually have a clue about the current status of the club and couldn't even name the manager or half the first team.

I doubt the club itself actually gets any real direct financial benefit from all these armchair Asian fans, its the broadcasters and other media outlets who benefit from all the millions of views, clicks and subs generated by them.
