Man. Untd. Incorporated draws a lot of casual fans or people who could care less but go for the experience of seeing something that's internationally marketed as a big deal. If you want singing passionate fans, go see that team United something or other of Manchester that plays in some non-league division. They're the old time United fans: hard-drinking northerners, insanely passionate for their team. Manchested United Inc., LLC, is an amazingly talented team and fun to watch, but they're for 16 year olds just getting into the game and upper middle class snoobs who've never given a fig for football but want to play the role on Saturday. That’s the way the Glazers want it, after all. No surprise that it was quiet. Man. Untd.
