The players had been told by Manchester United supporters that they were also in their sights. They specifically targeted Norwich in their match against them, saying, "You're not fit to wear the shirt. Ronaldo, who is frequently blamed for United's woes, is generally the answer. His second hat-trick of the season cleansed Old Trafford as one of the most toxic atmospheres in recent memory.
Some were jumping for joy at Ronaldo's free-kick that snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, no sooner had they stopped telling Paul Pogba to 'fuck off.' Ronaldo has scored 21 goals and two hat-tricks in his first season back in England in 12 years, despite the fact that he is 37 years old.
Some glum pseudo-intellectuals will continue to portray Ronaldo as the play's villain. He may be the hero all of a sudden. Surprisingly, United sit three points behind the Premier League's final Champions League qualifying. Few will be distracted by an unnecessarily hard triumph over the league's worst club. On Tuesday, an apocalyptic evening at Anfield is possible, followed by a trip to Arsenal on Sunday.
The end-goal for tens of thousands of United supporters is not Champions League football, but the removal of the owners. "You're not fit to wear the shirt," as far as the squad is concerned, is a turning point. Bruno Fernandes' performance has deteriorated since his ill-advised pay raise, but he remains untouchable.
That chant hasn't been directed at United players at Old Trafford in a long time. Pogba's number was raised after some railed against it with the loyal 'we'll back you ever more'. There were applause at first, then boos. The Stretford fans chanted, "Fuck off Pogba. Pogba hasn't wanted to be at United for nearly four years, and many of those who have watched him can't stand it any longer. Some United fans have only six more games to put up with Pogba. Another leaving midfielder, on the other hand, had a game-changing impact. Nemanja Matic gave stability to a midfield that had been mostly devoid of it. On Friday night, Matic announced that he would be departing United in the summer, but he was greeted with a standing ovation from United's ardent fans, who serenaded him with the ditty "He comes from Serbia."
Despite the poison on United's premises, the only time Joel Glazer would have felt uneasy in his opulent Tampa home would have been when Teemu Pukki equalized. When more than 70,000 people still pass through the turnstiles of the stadium. United is said to be expanding, a few thousand dissenters aren't going to bother the Glazer family.
