Manchester United supporters have endured a turbulent start to the 2025/26 season, with Ruben Amorim’s side struggling to find form in the Premier League.
Early fixtures have exposed cracks in the squad, leaving fans anxious as they hope for improvement before the transfer window closes.
The Red Devils’ domestic cup commitments provide another chance to secure momentum, but consistency in the league remains elusive.
The pressure is mounting on Old Trafford’s hierarchy to deliver results.
The mood among supporters and high-profile fans alike has been noticeably tense as optimism fades in the opening weeks of the campaign.
Amid this backdrop, former two-time heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury has admitted he has given up on Manchester United, describing the club’s current situation as a “sh*t” period that has been ongoing for years.
Once a proud and vocal supporter of the Red Devils, Tyson Fury spent Bank Holiday Monday at Cartmel Racecourse cheering on two of his horses and made it clear where his loyalties now lie: not with Ruben Amorim’s stuttering tenure and not even with England’s national side.
At Euro 2016, Fury was spotted among England’s travelling supporters in France and has made multiple trips to Old Trafford, often seated alongside figures such as Sir Alex Ferguson during memorable matches, including United’s 4-3 FA Cup quarter-final win over Liverpool in March 2024.

But the glory hasn’t lasted.
Speaking to Racing TV,via Facebook, during his day at the track, Fury said: “I’m not a supporter of football really.
“I used to support United, but because they’re in the sh*t now, I’m no supporter of any football teams anymore.
“I used to support England as well, but when they lost to Iceland in the Euros in 2016, that was me and football completely done with.
“Now I’m into horse racing, get up!”
Tyson Fury took to the hallowed turf of Old Trafford earlier this year, participating in the high-profile Soccer Aid charity match.
United, meanwhile, are coming off a frustrating 1-1 draw with Fulham and face a crucial Carabao Cup second-round tie against Grimsby Town on Wednesday, before turning their attention back to Premier League action against Burnley on August 30.
The Red Devils will need to rediscover the form that once made them one of Europe’s dominant forces if they hope to win back the faith of fans like Fury and restore pride at Old Trafford.
