It’s in fact the most successful club in the Premier League era and has been known for its consistency over the years. Their success didn’t come quick or easy however, it was a gradual process in which they slowly took over from Liverpool as the top English club in the 1990s. Their constant improvement meant that by the early 2000s, they had already solidified their status as one of the top clubs in English football. United soon became one of the most widely supported football teams in the world and the signing of star players like Cristiano Ronaldo raised the club’s profile even further.
However, the increase in the number of fans didn’t mean that everyone liked them. It seemed as though the more their status rose, the more hatred they seemed to pick up along the way. Liverpool fans certainly weren’t happy as United was now doing better than their team. Then came the early 2000s and Arsenal became their main rival, meaning Arsenal fans also began to dislike them. Their 19th league trophy pretty much summed up their dominance for they had now overtaken Liverpool who had 18. It goes without saying that Liverpool fans were far from pleased especially when you consider the fact that their club hadn’t yet claimed the title in the Premier League era. Thus United’s rise to the top had also coincided with it becoming one of the most hated clubs in English football. Here are the 15 reasons Manchester United are hated by so many people.
15. Theatre of Dreams
Old Trafford, which is Manchester United’s home ground, was nicknamed “The Theatre of Dreams” by United legend and England’s greatest footballer, Sir Bobby Charlton. Though not the official name of the stadium, it’s occasionally referred to in this way. However, some people (non United fans to be specific) believe that the name is self-aggrandizing and thus see it as an attempt to establish superiority over others.
