Can’t find anything to back it up but seem to remember being told years ago that Man Utd for a vote away from being called Manchester Celtic when they changed from Newton Heath.Always hated both of them. My Da used to always call United ‘Manchester Celtic’ and in my own experience growing up, Liverpool fans seemed so similar to the Tims as to be indistinguishable.
My Da was of the older tradition who saw Liverpool as a ‘Proddy’ team and had a soft spot for them, and with the arrival of Klopp to Liverpool and Gerrard to Rangers I have have softened on the Scousers, so they narrowly win.

Note #106 already suggests the same thing.
Big Sonia's not going to be happy wi' you!!There's only 2 teams for me. Rangers and Rangers reserves.
Totally agree mate, I know plenty of united fans in Salford all lean towards Rangers with no allegiance to Celtic. FF seems to think there is a love in with Celtic.. not true.The United/Celtic thing you read on here is just typical of the clueless, ill informed guff that passes for chat in the bear pit
The RC connection only took place when Matt Busby was appointed manager after WW2. Pre-war Man City was ‘the’ team in Manchester but Busby made great play of his religious affiliations in order to attract greater support for his club. He pushed hard on the fact his best players were Johnny Carey, an ROI international, and Jimmy Delaney, whom he signed from Celtic. Before the war Man Utd’s manager was Scott Duncan, an ex-Ranger.Yes they were a railway team based in Newton Heath east manchester
Before their move to Salford one of the names suggested was Manchester Celtic. The Board were always RC’s.
Not a fan of this half and half nonsenseI remember going to Ibrox in the mid 70's seeing many half and half Rangers/Liverpool hats and scarfs

"Manure"!
Not true. Manchester Celtic was the name proposed as well as United. Early 20th century well before Busby.The RC connection only took place when Matt Busby was appointed manager after WW2.

Not nowadays but then it was always Liverpool / Chelsea / City etc certainly not Man UNot a fan of this half and half nonsense
I look on Manchester United as the most hated club in England mainly as they are the biggest and most successful.Which do you favour and why?
