They have had a bad run, I agree. However, I am a fan of English style of play. Not so much grandstanding and flopping. Their blue collar style has always appealed to me. My stepmother grew up in Manchester, so I got educated from my early teens. Started playing at the same time, 40 years ago. A life ago, it seems. Played until my mid 30’s when back and neck issues forced me out. Went out on a good note, a goal and an assist. I miss it.

Well, if you have roots in Manchester, then you’ve seen the best the Premier has to offer. And like I said, even if the Brits can’t put together much of a Cup team, I still follow the Red Devils fairly closely. And I agree, their style of play is a lot of fun to watch.
