As a neutral, this struck me as particularly petty and parochial, and not something you'd expect from a club that purports itself to be one of the greatest. You'd hardly expect a tour of the Bernebau to include a wallow in the misfortunes of Atletico Madrid, would you?
So an interesting dilemma now faces the powers that be at Old Trafford. Do they quietly remove the sign, or do they change it to 0 and continue to gloat about how long it is since City won a trrophy.
We await their decision with interest.
