Before Munich, fans of City and united often went to watch both clubs, whilst favouring one or the other. The disaster then brought a huge swell of interest in united from different quarters.

But City were always their rival.

As you rightly say, the rivalry with the dippers was simply a money making campaign which hadn't been there before.

Anyway, both clubs and their supporters are pretty " hollow" in terms of allegiance, whipped up by money.

Amazing to think how the rags and the dippers has become a big game.
Rags were shite until EPL started.Dippers shite once the EPL started.
Have they ever went toe to toe in the league in my lifetime.63 Years old.
City had a lot of barren years in the old first division but managed to win it in 1968.
The rags last won the old first division in 67.

Spot-on. And they seem so defensive about “us not being their rival” even though we have been bitter rivals since 1894. Anyone born and brought up in Manchester knows what it’s like at school and every workplace. The LFC rivalry was manufactured to squeeze more money out of overseas fans. It didn’t really exist before the late 1980s.

Despite their claims the rags didn't exist in 1894
With respect to rivalry with the Liverpool clubs, City and LFC were rivals before the invited the rivalry with the Rags who's rivals were more likely to be Everton

Another rag "supporter" crawling out of the woodwork.

When asked what he watches on TV, celebrity chef and restaurateur Michel Roux says: "Rugby - or Manchester United, if they're on".

In othwr words,a typical celeb who knows nothing about football, and has no conneection with the north-west, but thinks that Man Utd are worth watching because ..........I can't actually think why. Does he think it's "cool"?

Stick to cooking, Michel - or, as they say in your country, "Ta gueule, con".........

He's an Arsenal fan, previously. Probably has a deal to serve food at United now!

We are obviously their biggest rivals. The obsessive behavior of the people running their club says it all. We hired Guardiola and they desperately hired Mourinho to one up us, even though he was 100% the wrong choice if they wanted to replace Van Gaal with a possession oriented manager. Then they tried to one up us over Sanchez, which was the definition of pettiness and turned into another disaster. Then Fred, Maguire, the desperation to get Sancho to once again try to show us up. And let's not forget the frenzy when Ronaldo was linked to us, which also turned into a disaster and cratered their season once again.

I don't see them trying to hijack Liverpool's deals or trying to constantly one up them.

Moyes rightly picked up which way the clubs were headed and said something along the lines of "We need to be more like City" after we battered them 4-1 and they absolutely pilloried him.

They remind me slightly of us under Swales and throwing about money wanting to be important and relevant,reeves and Daley transfers £1mill ..
 
Anybody in here more familiar with United than me, what is the likelihood that Garnacho gets more game time this season? From what I've seen of the weird lookin bloke - I know he can strike a ball.

I've seen his odds to score 10 league goals are 12/1. Is that good value?

Surely if he starts ~ 20 matches and comes off the bench in others this will hit. But does he have a place in the XI as it stands?
