Remember that Manchester United turns the surrounding area to a tourist hub due to the magnitude of the club, they may not have had the best years on the pitch but they're still a big fucking institution that makes a killing commercially so I'm sure tourists fill up Old Trafford too
But I do wonder how many years that aura (I hate this word) alone is gonna carry the club. 10 years with no PL or CL and only an FA Cup and a Europa League to show for them. There are 10 years olds alive today that weren't alive when United last won the PL. I wonder how long their past achievements will carry them.
On the other hand, I'm friends with maybe a couple City fans lol I also wonder when, if ever, they will replace United as the go-to club to pick in England once they start watching football.
If things continue as is then probably in 15 years
