Don't get me wrong, I like the genre as a whole very much. I grew up with NWA and Biggie etc. It's the style nowadays which I find childish, but then again I'm probably getting old.
Do we have the best player reveal videos?

You put significant emphasis on race being the reason why it must be "jarring" for him to watch. What else does that imply? Otherwise, there'd be no reason for you to make mention of the race of Pogba and Stormzy in two separate instances as the reason he doesn't like it. It's a strange point to make.
Its a point I made because this is the world we now live and your putting words in my mouth. I didnt say he did not like it because they were black. You said I called him a racist, I made no such remark. I merely pointed out this fella "cant stand" a video with Pogba dancing with a grime artist.
These are mere observations.

My wife thought the Sanchez one was cringe.. probably because the 'Glory Glory' tune is a bit cringe from the perspective of a neutral.
I loved it.

Sanchez's reveal is the best ever.
Not really. You specifically implied that he didn’t like it because a black footballer is dancing to it. It’s a quite clear implication that he doesn’t like it because of their colour
Ya I guess its a bit jarring seeing a black footballer dancing around to a popular grime track by a black artist who loves United.
The point where the Glory Glory tune gains tempo and they show Alexis for the first time gets me all excited. Absolutely brilliant.
And yes we make the best player videos. Besiktas and Roma make great light hearted videos but lack that intensity, Sanchez video was "Get all hyped up" which made it such a good watch

Well, to be fair, they don't have united's history or class, so making a video that ressembles ours wouldn't have had the same effect as us doing it. a video like the sanchez one would have only worked with clubs like us, Madrid, Barça or Bayern. you could maybe throw Juve there.
The bar isn't exactly high.
That made me laugh I must admit. Not to be unkind but the acting would be incredibly fitting with a health and safety video for an insurance company.
I didn't know anyone else did these. Did we start the trend?
I vaguely remember Everton did one for one of their summer signings and it was nearly as bad as that Rudiger/Chelsea effort.

Sanchez is brilliant. Best ever imo and 'Glory, glory' never sounded better. Not huge fan of Pogba/Stormzy one, but then again I don't like that type of music.
Thought Neymar one with PSG was pretty good.
That's amazing love it
That is SPECTACULAR.

impeccable acting all round, Oscar worthy... i would like to also know why Rudiger is hanging around in the back of the Megastore though.
To be fair this is brilliant!
Nope. We are usually pretty bad at it. The Pogba reveal was trashy (may be because rap is not my type). However, I was totally shocked by Alexis's reveal. It was pure class. I hope we keep it up from now on.

That is not the Pogba reveal by Utd
Tbh, yes, I do find Pogba and Lingard dancing when we score goals cringe-worthy. Players should respect the opponent and their efforts. Dancing is sort of over-celebrating. I like players who don't celebrate much because they know they might also concede goals or defeat, it's a reality check and shows humility. That's something very likable about Messi, he rarely over-celebrates.

The United version of the Pogba announcement for me still gets me hyped to death.
The whole transfer saga was just something else, and to top it off like that was amazing. Remember watching it in bed about 10 times and being a giddy little kid all over again.

Agreed. It's just a bloke rapping really.
I can understand that many ppl dont fancy the pogba one, i dont like rap music either
But in that moment i was buzzing and i thought it was amazing after all that transfer saga, like all the tension got away and i was just happy that they announced with his style

Yeah it was fitting for Pogba. A lot of what Pogba does is a bit cringe though. Nothing too wrong with that though, as long as he enjoys it at United!
The Pogba one is pretty horrific. Looks like some teenagers thought it would be a good idea for him to wave his arms to music you would hear chavs playing at the back of the bus.
The Sánchez one was a lot better. Can’t recall any other notable twitter reveals.

I've said about how good our PR and marketing is in the past and the player reveals are obviously a big factor in that. Just look so much more polished and thought through than others.
Ha ha ha this is brilliant. Fair play, good piss take
Never realised how russled some of our own fans were about the stormzy/pogba reveal.
I really hope Sanchez joins Lingard and pogba's dance troupe now.
Seriously, old men, lighten the feck up

They're all cringe. I mean every single one, not just United's btw, before anyone gets an aneurysm.
Milner looks like a truck driver in that photo.
I'm surprised so few people on here think the same. I figured it was aimed at kids. People praising United's marketing is so bizarre on so many levels.
Just because you don't see the appeal doesn't mean that United's marketing isn't smashing it. You're one person in how many millions...
