Only by people like Haroon. While Juve are a dull, boring and cynical football team, United are always exciting, and great to watch.

I never mentioned the playing styles so I don't know why you bring them?
Quote:
The club is self-sufficient. At least the income is not pumped in by a corrupt government official.  (Yes, I am talking about Silvio, and yes I do not like him).

I don't bring non-football matters into it. When Berlusconi bought Milan he was a billionaire and not into politics.
Quote:
Which is still no mean feat. Two European Cups are definitely not a bad achievement. And may I remind you that both trophies were won with a team largely made up of home-grown players.

Same goes for Juve. Nobody stops teams from purchasing foreigners.
Quote:
Again, the club is independent and self-sufficient. In order to keep it running smoothly, its finances have to be managed properly.
Again, United do not have a rich, corrupt government official to bail them out if they land into financial trouble.

Where does this differentiate you from Juve?
Quote:
Which is probably the reason why City fail to fill their stadium regularly, and about one million plus fans gathered to witness United's victory parade during the Treble season IN Manchester.

When you win something like a TREBLE then people do come from all over the country to celebrate. France won in 1998 and people from all over France gathered on the Champs-Elysses.
Quote:
Read this properly Haroon. United are OFFICIALLY the biggest club in Manchester, the biggest club in England and the biggest club in the World.
Which is never a bad thing.

Define biggest. When it comes to INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS United don't even make the TOP 10. Independiente, Milan, Real, Juve, Barca, Inter, Liverpool, Ajax, Bayern and Penarol are all ahead. I hope you read this properly.
And by the way in your ENTIRE POST you have failed to distinguish how Juve are different from United. The one point where you mentioned it was style. Other than that there is no mention of how you differentiate from Juve.
