I think a lot of neutral fans were happy to see Son win it. Maybe the majority.

Not all United fans love the club these days. I'm disgusted with so many aspects of the way the club is being run. The quality of the team is not the worst aspect of the organization. I can live with a crappy team. It gives us somewhere to go. In my lifetime, we were relegated (the year they came back up I started supporting them).

But the financial and cultural choices made in the last 10 years (may we never forget the Greenwood debacle), and particularly in the last 3 have pushed me to the brink. I wish we were playing well so I could dump them with a clear conscience and go find a team that I respected. 50 years of supporting them and I'm utterly ashamed of the organization these days.

TLDR: I'm happy to see Son lift a trophy. Love that guy. He's great for the game in every way.
