Lifelong fan of club and leading player at club leaves club after club's best season. How does that make any sense? Why do footballers like to lie?
Don't think Earps did,And does United fans treatment of Russo influence Mary Earps decision making after this season?
As Earps allegedly desperately tried to stage a late transfer-window escape from United this summer to also join Arsenal!
I don't believe that any home fans attending the game tonight will be wishing Arsenal all the best, you might find some mentalists on Twitter etc but in real life it doesn't existI guess the obvious question to this would be, if they are still attending United games as they enjoy womens football but still wish Arsenal all the best, maybe they are a Russo fans and general womens game fans and not United fans? I see it all the time how this is dividing the fan base and creating drama on different United platforms.
Not quite that level as she's from Kent, not Manchester, and she was only with the club for 3yrs but she did grow up in a United supporting familyIs she any good as a footballer? This is equivalent to Rashford joining City?
She's probably not a United fan.Not quite that level as she's from Kent, not Manchester, and she was only with the club for 3yrs but she did grow up in a United supporting family
She did grow up a United fan - there are pics of her in United kits as a small childShe's probably not a United fan.

Check the video Tweet I just added - posting stuff like that makes her leaving even worse IMO!Fair enough. Possible that the family is more passionate than her, though? I know nothing about her but from what I've read her move is properly bizarre if she's indeed a Red.

The stadium is sold out.Wait, there's gonna be fans?
People actually watch women's football?!
The exact reasons has never been specified. Although its been said the long negotiations with United spanning 1-2 years did not impress her. Russo had a long injury spell before the euros in england, that would have been the best time for United to lock her up long time, then she exploded in the euros and her value sky rocketed. And from there I believe United did not value her as a player to give her a world class contract especially with United being a new womens club and building the org slowly and responsible.What’s exactly the reason she wants to leave and go to Arsenal? A new challenge?
She went to Arsenal for the same money United had offered her.why not boo the glazers for not funding the womens team enough?
We had messed her around for a while, though, and have seemingly done a similar thing with Earps. They aren't immune from the chaotic way we're run as a club, though it has been improving since we hired a head of women's football (which has had its own teething problems).She went to Arsenal for the same money United had offered her.
With that statement, you mean there will be no booing I assume since womens football fans would be more intelligent?What the feck is the obsession around booing (and whether not to boo) amongst football fans these days?
It seems to have attained some heightened level of importance rather than just a stupid thing dickheads do.
I don't think this situation is something that anyone, particularly people who are going to be at a women's football game (who you'd expect would be a bit more enlightened), are going to give a shit about.
Turn on the telly and watch the game tonight, should be a crackerFeck me. Good for them!
To be honest, i'd bring my 6 year old kid if i was near there so she could watch, if she had any interest.
I am not sure she lied about being United fan. She probably just want to get easy glory at Arsenal, its easier to go to a club stacked with players and harvest titles rather than working hard for them at United. But I agree with United coming strong its really really odd timing.Lifelong fan of club and leading player at club leaves club after club's best season. How does that make any sense?

eventually and reluctantlyShe went to Arsenal for the same money United had offered her.
Are you sure of that when Russo is the 4th highest earning payer in the WSL from social media, modeling, personal sponsorship, partnership contracts etc. She makes a ton of money outside the salary she gets from the club and those incomes will just keep rising! So I dont think we have any reason to worry about Russos finances in the long term even if she stayed on and was only Man Uniteds best paid player! The cash is rolling in steady for her, thats for sureeventually and reluctantly
Arsenals budget is 40% more, shes a southerner, and in the womens game a wage rise means affording a spare bedroom and a nicer car , rather than a 4th lamborghini
Quite the bigoted statement towards men's football fans, ironically. Why would fans not do the same kind of things that they do in the other game? Because it's women? Is that not sexist?With that statement, you mean there will be no booing I assume since womens football fans would be more intelligent?
I agree. Her male footballing heroes growing up may well have been United players, but who knows about her female ones?I don’t think being a childhood fan of the club as primarily a mens team carries the same connection over to a team that’s only recently been properly formed.
Indeed. I suggest you quote the poster and ask for clarifications as the post was rather shocking. I was looking forward to hearing back from the poster about the reasoning from writing that post!Quite the bigoted statement towards men's football fans, ironically.

I don't think she lied either but you have to remember she is a girl so not a proper fan anyway. I imagine which club she supports is way down the list of priorities behind having babies and cooking dinner as it should be.I am not sure she lied about being United fan.

That’s what hurts most though, she’s a United fan.. and a popular player, probably second/third most popular after toone/earps. So for her to leave for arsenal.. doesn’t sit right.It’s a difficult one, when I went to the games last season I was amazed by how popular Russo was amongst the fans and so I don’t think that most people will be booing her but if the odd few want to do it then I think it’s completely understandable as well. We want women’s football to grow and tribalism is a part of club football
I hope you get the shit you deserve for saying such a thingI don't think she lied either but you have to remember she is a girl so not a proper fan anyway. I imagine which club she supports is way down the list of priorities behind having babies and cooking dinner as it should be.
