Everyone in Europe does it. Manchester means Manchester United, not the noisy neighbors.
Can confirm this. I call United United and people always look at me like I am some kind of weirdo.

Over here, Manchester refers to Manchester United while Man Citt are referred to by their full name.

It’s like ‘Madrid’ refers to Real Madrid and not Atletico.

‘Real’ also refers to Real Madrid and not Betis or Zaragoza or whoever

‘Manchester’ and ‘United’ both refer to Manchester United.

Yaya Toure: I thought Manchester United wanted to sign me from Barcelona... until my agent told me it was the team in blue.

Then there are unconfirmed reports of Robinho thinking he was joining United as well. Almost everyone associates United with Manchester (and vice versa). Even with their recent success, I hear them being referred to as City while we are Manchester.
I never read this Yaya Toure bit. Man, imagine if we signed him from Barcelona. We could have got some very special years out of him :drool:

Constantly at the STD clinic.
I hope the talk about Mbappe drives Martial insane that everyone talks about Mbappe instead of him and he goes on to score a wicket hattrick!
