Last week I asked who United’s biggest rivals were, following a survey of thousands of football fans of teams in all leagues in England.
The fans in this survey regarded Liverpool as our biggest rivals, then City then Arsenal. How did RoM readers vote?
Drum roll please.
In third place, with 9% of the vote, it’s our old sparring partners, Arsenal! Here’s a team that deprived us of winning the league in 1998, 2002 and 2004, as well as beating us in the FA Cup final of 2005. Of course, we’ve more than got our own back!
In second place, with 23% of the vote, it’s our pals from Moscow, Chelsea! Of course, not a historic rival of ours, their 2005 and 2006 Premiership titles have obviously got on our nerves. How dare a team keep our trophy two years in a row!
And in first place, as if there could be any question, with 64% of the vote, is Liverpool. Despite going 18 years without winning the league, they’re still our most hated team.
Leeds ranked 4th with 6% of the vote and surprisingly City came 6th, with just 2%.

That’s because we all know that City are a small club.
Liverpool, Citeh, Leeds, Arsenal… simple as.
ps – shouldn’t matter that two of them are shite, they’re still historically major, major rivals for us. Always will be.
Really couldn’t care less about Chelsea “moment in the sun” FC, but it is nice to get one over them.
My top five are:
1, Liverpool
2, Liverpool
3, Liverpool
4, Liverpool
5, Liverpool.
I named the rent boys as second. The thing that really annoys me about them is this swaggering about like they are a big club, just because they have been propped up by the crooked Russian’s trillions for the last 2 minutes of history. Two league titles in 53 years and never a European Cup tells the real story though
stephen + jimmy the weed agree on both points. Dippers are just that…we hate em…the lucky crappy twats…and we also hate those fly by night…russian looted trillions…no tradition, no history, no continued success..oligarch..looted russian car boot sale….strutting like theyre real madrid, us, ac milan and bayern munich all in one. cub formed by pillaged monies 05-
fuckin hate them both
and man shitty..the scally twats
