United have long been hated by rival Premier League fans due to their status as one of the biggest clubs in the world and after an era of dominance under Sir Alex Ferguson. The Red Devils won 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups, four League Cups and two Champions Leagues under the legendary Scot. Rivals Liverpool are also deeply unpopular, and enjoyed huge success in the 1980s, while Manchester City's recent trophy-laden spell and alleged breaches of FFP rules ensure many younger supporters despise Pep Guardiola's side.
