Thoughts on calling United "ManU" (self.reddevils)

Th3Carwash が 投稿

Was discussing this on one of the threads earlier but what is everyone's thoughts on calling United "ManU" for short? I was raised to never say it, like it was a bit of a dirty word really. Thoughts?

They say it a lot here in Aus but I don't like it. Feels like it cheapens it. If I shorten it I just call them United - there's no other United more famous than Manchester United.

In NZ we always say that. Never felt weird or got any reaction to it.

I imagine many foreign fans haven't heard about why some despise the name. I think it has something to do with rival fans using it to taunt about the Munich air disaster. As someone who is a foreign fan, I try to respect those with more local ties to the club. And since learning that some don't like it, I don't use it. However, I've never actually met someone who told me not to, just read about it on the Internet.

I'm from Manchester, albeit I moved to London a couple of years ago but my family's still there and I'll always be a Manc. I personally don't find it disrespectful. It's a perfectly valid abbreviation of Manchester United and although I don't particularly like it, I feel letting the term be sabotaged by opposition fans to the point where it becomes offensive gives the opposition fans and the taunt more credit than it deserves.

I made a comment a while back on this, feel free to check it out if you have a couple of minutes on your hand.

I never hear that here. Well except that my mum says it, I correct her every time. It's so cringey.

I like the full name, it gives more power. I seriously hate when people call Anthony Martial "Tony", but I know it's me just being a cunt.
