I saw this post from a famous football influencer on X, I know most of us know him and his information is legit.
Manchester United has failed to provide the necessary fuel involved to transport their player on a 1hr trip to Paris for the Ballon Dor ceremony. Do you think they can't afford the liters of fuel, or their reasons are different?
They are known to be the richest club in the EPL, so I don't know why they are pleading for Manchester City to support them by accommodating their players in the flight.
This is a bad signal that all is not well with Manchester United. My guess is that there is a growing apathy to United following their poor performance this season and the refusal of the management to make serious changes to the team. Their support might have been reducing and this might be affecting their revenue in ways that we might not see. It is not complete insolvency or bankruptcy but might just be a case of reduced revenue that have made them try to cut cost. Whatever is the reason, it does not send a good signal for a big team like Manchester United.
