Some people can take the plain and unvarnished truth, and others can't ..... for decades, fans of Manchester United and Manchester City football clubs, have argued over who has the most fans inside the City of Manchester .... no argument outside of Manchester, as Manchester United are the best supported team in the world (allegedly).
Well the question has been answered in the only possible way, by how many fans put their money where their loyalties are: The sports chain Sports Direct have used their shop sales to determine the truth of the matter, and settle the argument forever.
First Fact: If you add up the all City and United shirts that were sold inside Manchester last year, an enormous 95% were Manchester United shirts, and just 5% were Manchester City ..... end of discussion.
Second Fact: Only 10% of the total Manchester United shirts sold, are bought inside Manchester, but even that 10% far exceeds the sale of Manchester City shirts - where that figure drops to under 5% of the total shirt sales for both clubs being sold in Manchester. City fans have claimed for decades that they are the team who are supported by real Mancunians.
Last Fact: Almost 45% of Manchester United shirt sales occur in London (Second Place Dublin), and Manchester actually comes in just 3rd on the list. But City also sell the majority of their shirts in London (with Glasgow second), and for them Manchester comes in a very poor 10th for their shirt sales.
Oh and for the Liverpool Fans out there, more than half your shirt sales come from London, with Dublin second .... sales in Liverpool itself is just 4th in the sales list.
These are facts, not bullshit .... man up lads, and just accept the plain and unvarnished truth.
