It's derogatory because as i said before Man U is the shortened form of ManUre and we all know what that is. In basicity, it's calling Man Utd feaces.

No, it is not the shortened form of manure, because it has been in place for decades, yet manure has only been around the last couple of seasons.

 

[sledger]

According to quite a few Man Utd fans I've interacted with, they dislike Man U.

i wouldnt listen to what aussie says, he says hes australian as well, cleary deluded.

 

[chaminda_00]

I think you got your wires crossed somewhere Xav, most United fans call them Man U or United. Sometimes people type Man Utd, but in general conversation they say Man U or United.

 

[Smudge]

Man U is fairly common, and is not derogatory. Back in the early Sky games, on the scoreline thingy, United were always "Man U".

You can't expect recent bandwagon jumpers like Xavier to know these things, Tom...

Haha, burn.

No, the U is short for United. Do you really think Sky would use the shortened form of ManUre?

 

[roseboy64]

All I can say is that I learnt that from Man United fans who live in Manchester and the rest of England. They get pretty riled up when Man U is used.

What do you mean by recent?

Well clearly you can't have done that first part...

TBH, the use of Man U came from their own supporters...

Hahaha, gold.

Haha, whatever. Noone that lives in Manchester supports Man U.

 

[roseboy64]

Whatever. 'Tis folly to be wise where ignorance is bliss.I'd post evidence but you'd need to be a member of a United form to view it and I'm sure you guys wouldn't join.

 

[marc71178]

And it wouldn't actually be evidence either.

There is no evidence, because it simply isn't true. As Marc said, Man U has been around for decades, ManUre hasn't.

And Matteh - obviously a higher percentage of Man City fans come from Manchester than United due to United being a worldwide club - that stat is often thrown around - but in terms of raw numbers, there are more United fans in Manchester than City fans. And those are the two most popular clubs.

There's a van outside ready to take to take you to hospital for your sense of humour transplant.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Yes, I know it was tongue in cheek, but still, the idea that few in Manchester support United irks me.

It'd be evidence of where I got that info. So you're both wrong.
