“ Loving something as deeply as the people in this stadium love United requires a lot of remembering, remembering Nobby Stiles and Busby’s Babes, but it also requires a lot of forgetting, too. Forgetting Kathryn Mayorga. Forgetting that the Super League concept will almost certainly return. Forgetting all the times you swore you were finally done with a club that took your love and made you pay for the privilege”
— Wright Thompson, Super League rage, Ronaldo mania and the fight for the soul of Manchester United
