Pulling for Manchester United is the "futbol" equivalent of pulling for the Tennessee Volunteer football team. Both were once great organizations who don't yet grasp that that time has passed. Top level leadership for both at best don't care, and at worst do things to actively hinder the organization. Management for both still think they can run things like it is still the glory days. Both teams have some interesting young players that seem to have potential but that only have flashes because of all of the bad around them.
