After comparing the two clubs, we can see that MUFC has more trophies than MCFC, but in recent 10 years, MCFC has had better performance than MUFC. It’s because they have a better owner who is so rich and spend lots of money growing his club. But Manchester United has a huge treasure called fans. Every week that MUFC has a match, the whole stadium fills up, and the fans always support their team in any condition, bad or good; it doesn’t matter. And MUFC doesn’t need to invite people to come to the stadium.
