In the Premier League, their fiercest opponent is Liverpool - it’s a true war between the “Red Devils” and the "Reds."
Whenever they face off, it always trends worldwide and all over India, fans rush to find the live stream.
Why are they such fierce rivals? Because they’re always fighting over who has more trophies.
When Liverpool have won 19 English top league titles, while Man Utd have won 20 (as of 2025).
Every time "North West Derby" happens, bars in Kolkata split into two sides - one chanting "MUFC," the other shouting "LFC." Even the Masala Chai tastes like fireworks!
Manchester United's other arch-rival is their city neighbor, Manchester City.

It’s like two curry shops on the same Indian street fighting for customers, with fans picking sides while walking! 😎！
Man Utd is the traditional elite, representing Manchester’s red; Man City is the rising rich, the blue army. Bars in Manchester often erupt in noise during red vs. blue clashes!

Man Utd’s home is Old Trafford, built in 1910 with a capacity of 74,000 - the second largest football stadium in the UK. Many Indian students in the UK visit it as a must-see and take photos.
This stadium has witnessed Manchester United’s history and glory, from Ronaldo’s free kicks to Beckham’s long-range shots.
Sadly, MUFC's home win rate has dropped lately, hitting just 36.8% in 2024-25. 😔
