I'm not saying their marketing is bad I'm saying it's weird that people celebrate it. It's such a departure from the fundamental appeal of football. And generally speaking I had no idea people that don't work in marketing say how much they like the marketing of anything.
Do we have the best player reveal videos?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
All I know is, as a person that doesn't really give much of a feck about these things, I thought both were very good for what they were. Can't say they made me cringe or that I wish they did a or b instead.
You and me are signed up and card carrying. These videos aim to show the world a bit of what United are about. They are fun, different from each other, production values are high and they have wide appeal. Good job imo...
Marketing as a department or not is a part of the club, and I don't see anything wrong with people praise them when they are doing great job in their opinion. Alexis revealing video is very good (even my die-hard scouser friend likes it) and we should give them credit.
Ok so I must be the only person who cringed when I saw it. I'm sure it's excellent for most of its target audience - but these things just always leave me cold - it's not just this one. I did smile at Motherwell's though and liked the reply by United!
Really? I think the United ones are lovely.
I feel like you guys are missing the point. Aren't a lot of these intentionally cringe? I mean I assumed the Rudiger one from Chelsea was intentionally made so weirdly.
Oh old man that know anything, new kids today just dont know feck all dont ya? My times is better than your times cliche. Grown up old man.
What kind of weird kid wants Rudiger on the back of his shirt. The premise itself is mind bending.
Wtf
I agree
Might be the worse thread title I have ever seen.
That's almost as good as Rooney's acting. In other words god awful.
I'm happy most folk seem to enjoy them! I find them utterly cringe-worthy personally..
The Pogba announcement video was the "I'm back" one not the one in the OP.
I liked them both but the Stormzy one was an adidas video not a United one.

The people that can't see the value in the Sanchez reveal video probably don't understand stagecraft. It's the type of video that would win awards from marketing departments because of its production value -- how it starts off slow, builds up steam and intensity, then ends with roaring cheers from an empty Old Trafford. It's very well done. Of course the haters (other teams' fans) will hate on it, but that's to be expected.
Couldn't care less whether other fans thought it was bad or cringeworthy, I for one enjoyed it and watched many times, just like I watched Pogba' "I'm back" video.
Apparently Mario Balotelli has signed for West Ham? Well least that's what I took for their player reveal video.
Look at that video and tell me how that made it out for the public to view.

I do see and understand the stagecraft. I appreciate the skill, energy, technical skills and creativity involved. I understand the significance. I have no problem with others liking them. Just that I personally find them cringeworthy.
Fair enough. I too find most of them cringe-worthy (I won't even watch the Rudiger one above). But to me the Sanchez one seems of a different class altogether.
I liked Zlatan’s reveal too. Short but nice.
