The Premier League offseason has been anything but quiet, with clubs, players, and even celebrities weighing in on football rivalries in unusual ways.
Social media continues to amplify fan reactions, memes, and viral moments from recent matches, keeping supporters engaged long after the final whistle.
Transfers, managerial comments, and fan interactions are trending topics daily, and unusual crossovers with other sports and entertainment have captured headlines.
From boxers posting football predictions to actors flaunting club allegiances, football culture has extended far beyond the pitch.
Every high-profile fixture seems to spark reactions that ripple across platforms, blending humour, rivalry, and global attention.
On Monday, world renowned boxer, Tyson Fury, said that he is no longer a United fan.
This time, Manchester United found themselves at the centre of a surprising cross-sport jibe.
WWE superstar Finn Balor, known for his theatrical antics and global following, pulled off a stunt that appeared aimed directly at the Red Devils.

During a WWE appearance, Finn Balor displayed a Tottenham Hotspur jersey alongside a Europa League cutout trophy and a sign reading, “And we beat Man City 2-nil,” as shown via the X account, To The Lane And Back.
The combination of items immediately drew attention from fans, as it seemed to mock both Manchester United and Manchester City supporters in a playful yet pointed dig.
The gesture was likely inspired by Spurs’ memorable Europa League victory over Manchester United last season, a result that still resonates among supporters of both clubs.
While Balor is not directly involved in football, his fandom and timing have turned the stunt into a talking point, sparking debates among fans about rivalries and cross-sport humour.
For Manchester United, this episode is another reminder of the scrutiny that comes with being one of football’s biggest clubs.
Even wrestlers thousands of miles away are quick to celebrate or poke fun at their performances, adding to the pressure on players and management alike.
While Balor’s antics are more playful than malicious, they emphasise the global reach of Premier League rivalries and the cultural impact of key victories.
