Two weeks after the launch of the now collapsed European Super League, the full extent of its unpopularity was laid bare for all to see on Sunday.

The Glazers, owners of United since 2005, were one of the principal architects of the now failed venture that would have seen 12 of Europe's leading clubs form their own breakaway tournament.
