Gathered views from multiple MUFC season ticket holders who received an email from the club restricting their accounts - causing anxiety to many. Spoke to MUFC about why this is happening. For @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/74613…

You’re quick to call us the best! You’re quick to show us off! You’re quick to post videos of Crystal Palace away when we got hammered 4-0 on Wednesday night and we stayed for 30 mins after the game singing with a 4 hour trip home! You want to ban these fans!

Breaking: Man Utd supporters’ groups issue joint statement calling on the club to pause clampdown on ticket touts, claiming it’s targeting innocent fans who now fear losing their season tickets. Full story @mailsport shortly #mufc

🚨📋 BREAKING | Joint statement from MUST, TRA, MUYSC, The 1958, all Fans’ Forum representatives, more than 100 Official Supporters’ Clubs, Red News and United We Stand: "Many attempts have been made in recent years to bring together influential supporter groups that can prioritise the often underrepresented voice of Manchester United’s match going supporters.

@MbarkCherguia Cunt, douche bag, dickhead, ass hole, fucktard..... take your pick

What do you call someone who does this? 😬

@starsnstripesfc My biggest issue is what network the games are on. Im not paying a subscription fee to watch it.

Don’t tell me you won’t watch MLS because of the quality of play. The worst team in the league is capable of playing/scoring goals like this. The level of play is much better than it was 5-10 years ago as someone who’s been watching since the early 2010s. Give me a better reason why you don’t watch, and don’t say because there’s no Pro/Rel.

@USMNTCORNER 2 things. I dont out th games behind a pay wall. 2nd fire anyone currently leadin the US soccer federation and hire people that know what the fuck they're doing.

Dear #USMNT Twitterverse, American soccer fans are refusing to watch MLS and these are the most common reasons: ▪️the level isn't as good as Europe ▪️there's no promotion / relegation ▪️it's a closed system ▪️it's behind a paywall ▪️corruption, greed, etc The big question: if our goal is to grow the game in the US, then how do we fix this problem? Can it even be fixed? Any REAL thoughts? 👇🧠

@DiceElDani If players quite obvious diving then the refs wouldn't have a call to make.

VAR is getting ridiculous. If the referee doesn’t book Paredes, VAR can’t intervene and Embolo stays on the pitch. Because Paredes was shown a yellow, VAR suddenly has jurisdiction and Embolo gets sent off. The exact same incident can produce two completely different outcomes depending on whether the ref flashes a card first. That’s not justice—that’s a loophole.

@jasonjwilde This happened because Embolo decided to dive. Had he not there foul not have been any call to make.

So if the official doesn’t give the yellow card to Paredes initially and calls it a normal foul or no foul at all, then it doesn’t go to VAR and Embolo is still playing, yes? So this essentially happens because the ref blew the call? Help me understand.

@SkylarSkye3 @PabloDaleFuego We ain't friends you're just our old babysitter

@PabloDaleFuego I thought we were friends!

Americans, you’re all supporting England against Norway, right?

@yimbyman Then MLS need to make the product better. Can't stand watching crap MLS games

What’s up with Americans wanting to support a team from England instead of your local team? The Premier League is great, watch it, but pick your own local MLS team, go to the stadium and have a good time. Soccer isn’t going to grow here if you just watch foreign leagues

@BenDesigned @MUAgendaFreeFan But that guy is getting hosed in the comments.

@MUAgendaFreeFan 🤣

Chelsea fans are FUMING they’ve sold Santos to us…

@Espeo11 @StretfordPaddck £50m good though?

@StretfordPaddck He’s a good player, people are just mad we don’t have a world class signing yet, which makes sense, but it doesn’t mean he’s a bad player

If Andrey Santos and Kobbie Mainoo are starting in midfield for #MUFC away to Hull City on the first day of the 2026/27 Premier League season, how will you feel? 💭

The U.S. soccer federation is a poor return on invested capital. I played soccer for 20+ years. Grassroots. Academy. D1 college. Pursued professionally after. And I’ll say the quiet part out loud: The US soccer infrastructure is broken. In America, we treat playing D1 soccer like it is the peak achievement. For most families, clubs, coaches, and players, the entire youth soccer machine is built around one goal: Get recruited. Get a scholarship. Play college soccer. But if the objective is to produce world-class players, D1 soccer is a terrible development path. From 18-22, some of the most important technical development years of your career, you are preparing for a 3-4 month season built largely around athleticism, direct play, set pieces, fitness, and survival. Now compare that to an 18-year-old in Spain, Argentina, Morocco, Italy, England, or France. That player has likely been in a professional environment for years. Training daily. Playing meaningful matches year-round. Competing against grown professionals. Getting thousands more touches. Learning how to solve the game under pressure. The gap is massive. And it shows. American players are usually athletic. They are usually fit. They usually compete hard. But at the highest levels, that is not enough. The biggest difference is technical comfort. We do not move the ball like Spain. We do not combine like Argentina. We do not play with the same fluidity, rhythm, and confidence you see from countries where the game is embedded into the culture from childhood. That comes down to volume. Volume of touches. Volume of street soccer. Volume of futsal. Volume of unstructured play. Volume of high-level training environments. Volume of meaningful games. In the US, youth soccer is expensive, overly organized, overly coached, tournament-driven, and too often built around winning games at 13 instead of developing players for 23. Parents spend thousands. Clubs charge thousands. Travel teams fly all over the country. Showcases become the product. Recruiting becomes the scoreboard. But the return on invested capital is poor. We probably spend more money on youth soccer than almost any country in the world, yet the technical output does not match the investment. That is a broken operating model. And like any business, if the output is weak, you do not blame the customer. You inspect the system. The US has talent. The US has athletes. The US has money. The US has facilities. But the foundation is wrong. We built a pay-to-play, college-recruiting machine and confused it for a world-class player development system. Those are not the same thing. Until we fix the grassroots layer, increase meaningful touches, make development less dependent on family income, and stop treating college soccer as the top of the mountain, the US will keep underperforming relative to its resources. I’m not saying this to trash US Soccer. I’m saying it because I lived it. And if we actually want to become a powerhouse, we have to be honest about the infrastructure first.

@PunishedRWR Norway 🇳🇴 🇳🇴 🇳🇴 🇳🇴

Americans, Who are you going to root for in the World Cup now that the USA is out??

@StokeyyG2 Nothing. It's always been this bad. This is just the first time it's been tested all tournament. Gifting 2 goals in a knockout.... bone heads.

Belgium look so much better, it’s insane. What has happened to this USA defence?

@TaylorTwellman Difference is this should of been a red.

Technically they didn’t follow VAR protocol here either. 🤷🏼‍♂️😂🤌🏼

@JMC9787 When you leave your feet to lung for the ball and go over the top with stud showing your asking for a red. The ref obliged. It doesn't matter if he got the ball first.

He was playing the ball and made contact with the ball first… Then his foot slides up. I don’t understand this sport’s dumb rules lol. Now he misses next game as well for making a good defensive play?

@EverythingRebs 100% went in studs up over the ball.

Another night of watching soccer and another night with no understanding how this is a red card. Let them play. Soccer fans, is this the right call?
