As a foreign fan I have to put up with being labelled glory-hunter, bandwagoner regularly. Now I don't want to come across paranoid - everyone here identifies with the club and what it stands for after getting into it. Locals and match-goers will identify with the rivalries and fan culture way more than me since for them Utd-City and Utd-Liverpool is an everyday thing with friends, work colleagues and the latter being rival cities historically. For me I will never get that being from India. I won't know any City fans away from the internet forums and social media. My Liverpool supporting friends too won't fully grasp it too That's life as a foreign fan.

My curiosity is those from the UK with access to football clubs, elite level competition but not local. A Utd fan from London won't identify with a northern club and culture like foreign fans either but it's us who always get mocked and seen inferior. A Utd fan from London has loads of "local teams" like Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea, West Ham, Palace in the premier league not to mention the plethora of others we can only dream of. What made you choose United?
