Johnny Nicholson: Big two run to a standstill, everything wrong with United

The game was so hyped that by kick-off I was expecting nothing less than the best football match that has ever been played.

The two big boys knock lumps out of each other

Nielsen, the people who measure TV audiences, predicted that this game would have a global audience of just 20 million, which for the self proclaimed ‘best league in the world’ is not very many, considering 7.9 billion people live on this spinning rock. Then again, the Premier League has always pumped brand awareness and reach, whilst being coy about actual viewership. With global numbers like that, you can see why.
