Manchester United is red. Every home game Old Trafford will be covered in red. Red seats, red shirts, red crest. But within the sea of red, you will notice a smattering of green and gold.
But why? What do green and gold represent to Man United fans?

The 92-94 green and gold shirt was brilliant. When United are finally sold that would make a great 3rd team kit
*If
Next season will be 30 years since that. Also the 10th season since SAF retired.
2nd kit?
The year the glazers leave the year we'll get a newton heath inspired kit.
SIUUUUUUUUUUU
So in 2050 then?
@@GuinessOriginal the club just made a loss for the financial year 2021/2022 fingers crossed they may start thinking about selling though I wouldn't be optimistic they probably find some B rate shares over price them and sell to make up for their loses 😔
@@GuinessOriginal cry pal
@@paulluka2029 they haven't just made a loss for the 21-22 year - this is now the 4th loss making year in the last 5 years.
And chances are 22-23 will be a loss making year also (wage bill hasn't really changed, no CL football, no trophies expected this season etc)
Nobody is talking about how bad the ''off the pitch'' performance of the glazers ownership really is. They just keep repeating that ''they are great businessmen''
I swear tifo football picks up the most random football topics and turns them into a super interesting video.
The random topics ARE the most interesting, just because theyre all unusual and uncommon stuff that you dont hear much about.
Random? It’s a video about possibly the best known football team in the world. Last time I checked , this was a football channel.
It isn't random tbf, United's financial quarter number which reports we have a debt of more then 500 million now while Glazers surprise surprise pulled another 34million dividends
Mainly just picks Man United and Liverpool trivia that a) most other British fans already know and b) don’t care about
Not random. Utd accounts were published yesterday, they recorded a record £115m loss - during their worst on the pitch season in Prem history.
Oh, they took another £33m during that same year too.
A ‘reward’ for their good work I suppose.
There's also something about nostalgia. It's like whenever the camera pans around supporters at the Bernabeu and you see some Real Madrid shirts with the Siemens Mobile print..... It's not just memories of the Galactico era that comes flooding your brain, but one man in particular you wish you could watch playing again: _El Fenomeno._
or zidane
@@Kurt_Philanderer or Raúl
I love how you made it about Real Madrid and never came back to the original question which was asked
@@rahulmandal0312 or Figo
CR7 is your greatest ever player. Show him more respect
Green and gold till the club is sold!
Thanks for the video TIFO 💛💚
Green and gold till the club spends 300mln in one transfer window
@@emanuel6693 which is then added to the club's growing debt. Clearly time wasters like yourself don't understand and indeed have no inclination of wanting to understand.
@@emanuel6693 oh yeah because fans weren’t protesting while we were winning leagues and competing for the champions league in the 2010s. Not to mention the club having to drown out all the anti glazer chants at Ronaldo and Casemiros debuts
@@sammy63611 He's probably talking about the fact many fans protest only while the club is doing badly but not when they pick up form which is true. Yes there's people who protest the whole time but those who only do it while the club doesn't spend or do good exist too.
@@emanuel6693 grow up
This only touches briefly on the historical aspect of why Green and Gold is significant to many old school match going United fans. Yes for a while Newton Heath played in Green and Gold but why? Because the club was founded by Irish first and second generation immigrants and Green and Gold is a link to that. United have fans across the world now of course but that doesn't mean that they don't have a huge local following and many of them are fully aware of this historical heritage. One aspect of the dissatisfaction for those fans is that the club is being dragged further and further away from that heritage.
Green and gold till club is sold
GREEN AND GOLD TILL THE CLUB IS SOLD
GLAZER FAMILY OUT
Sooner they are gone we can start to be once again a properly run football club & hopefully become Manchester united F.c again !!!! 🇾🇪🏐🇾🇪
Amen🙏
Yeman
Norwich City lovin it
I think the mid 90s Green & Gold away kit that used the Newton Heath colours kept the legacy in memory making it an obvious choice for the campaign.
When the Glazers sell, a new away/3rd kit in those colours will sell loads.
GLAZERS OUT
green and gold till the club is sold
In support of Norwich
Hey! love your vids and analysis, would be interested in seeing you guys do a series on the top 5 or 6 favorites this world cup
I love when opposition fans think the Glazers aren't the problem, either that or its pure trolling, no one in their right mind would want people like the Glazers in charge of their club.
It’s trolling. It always is.
Also we’re probably the only club that could actually continue tj manage being run like this, anyone else would have been battling relegation by 2008 in our position
@@BigPurp9 I think we only survived because Ferguson is in class of his own he kept the club going and with prestige otherwise I think we could have been in different position
Which club spend the most on transfers
@@askellpositive are the protests about lack of transfer spend? If so can you provide evidence?
Anti glazer happens way back? Never knew the glazers were that big of a problem, thought it was only recently. Bravo Tifo for providing interesting football topics.
Most united fans have known this for years. No investment in the infrastructure for years. The only thing they can do is take dividends out. Major overhaul needed.
I been watching those colors since cr7 left .
Fans in 2005 hated it so much they created Fc United of Manchester, it's not new united fans aren't just all of a sudden anti-glazer we have always been anti-glazer
Glazer bought the club with a leverage, the fans already hate glazers since they came to the club
Even ferguson and the players openly talk about it in the past
there's been anti glazer even before they became our owners, and even when united were winning back to back pls and ucl finals the protests were stronger than ever it was never about success
I had a green and gold utd away kit when I was growing up in the 90s
Pretty sure a lot of people have said this, but your illustrator is top class
Green & Gold until we’’re sold
Need something like that for Chelsea now.
for non utd fans pls watch video like this, before saying "utd fans shouldnt be glazers out bcs glazers spend money".
the problem already there since they bought the club with debt. sir alex success surpressed all of that. thats why now the fans get really fed up with the glazers.
I think most non united fans know this. It's just that there are united fans who only make noise about it after a loss. There is no way the glazers are at fault for the losses and have no responsibility for the wins.
@@joebarnes100 But they are responsible for why the club is structurally a mess since SAF left
Get mad against Fletcher, Woodward, Murtough they don’t know how to run a football club. Florentino Perez had the balls to sell Ronaldo when he realized ronaldo was getting old, so did Man City with Aguero. something Man Utd management team will never had the balls to do.
Don’t bother mate. Rival fans are just trolling, they are not interested in actually understanding the issue
@@joebarnes100 where is the line of acceptability though? Do Utd fans have to have a 10,000 strong protest literally every week in order for the protest to remain valid? If not then what is the number? And why is that the case? Genuine question.
Could you guys do a video on the sketchy situation at Wigan? Very dodgy bets being placed on that club and doesn’t seem to get any coverage
Source?
@@simonkeating6885 fng has a video on it from like 2 years ago well worth a watch
So this is pretty much a explanation of the glazers out movement, nicely done 👏🏿
Green and gold till this club is sold
The Chelsea sale makes me feel it's unlikely United will be sold anytime soon.. the precedent sets the club's value at too high a point, nobody will be able to afford it.
Because buying Norwich merch is cheaper than United Merch
Thank you for another amazing video and thanks for raising awesome of what green n gold means ❤️
We've come for our scarves, we're Norwich City, we've come for our scarves. 🔰
Glazer's out
Shame the EPL website doesn't list the 92-94 green and gold kit.
WE WANT GLAZERS OUT 🔰
I’ve got that original top with the lace in mint condition
I still wear it for every game at Old Trafford ... Green and Gold till they die or Fold!
These colors are so good ngl
Glazers Out
The old colours of Newton Heath.
As a norwich fan i was always confused by this
Green and Gold until it is sold
every year we should have a friendly against FC United. The momentum of the protests have ebbed and flowed over the years and at this point it seems we are around the same level it was in its infancy.
Tell you what that image of Beckham only gets stronger in our minds every year lad
Green & gold till the club is sold 🟢🟡
Green and gold is a cracking colour combo.
🎵 No noise, from the Norwich boys 🎵
Big fans of the Australian national team
❤ thank you every bid helps to educate all the fans as to what a colossal cancer we have with these owners
the like of Wigan, Bolton, Blackburn start their downfall in the same era as Portsmouth
are they also in Debt problem ?
missed them in Premier League
Make one for germany's green shirt
Why was it used but not anymore?
@0:40 Not true go look at the footage from the time they have never not been visable.
Yep.
I have another video idea for you:
why is the color yellow often seen as gold in a football context?
It's the same reason as why football is called soccer in America.
In case they need to change teams during the match
its because they love norwich so much
Really funny because back in like 2008, before I got into soccer, I thought Manchester United wore green and gold and someone thought I was an idiot for thinking so. Over a decade later and I finally understand why
It's called football
They'll only sell when a structural engineer tells them the stadium is unsound and Carrington is below required standards for a premier league team.
Then they'll quietly sell up and leave, knowing that every penny that should have been spent on maintenance and infrastructure went straight into their pocket, instead.
every penny that should have been spent on maintenance actually got spend on more players. Again. For a club that consistently spends obscene amounts of money it's hilarious how deluded the fans are that the Glazers supposedly don't spend any money.
@@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere Please illustrate to us again how ignorant of the situation you are.
Gold and yellow is similar to nowich fc colours
They were really Norwich all along.
they're "looking for eric"
Norwich visiting old Trafford be flying high
You don't reach a crescendo. A crescendo is the rise to the peak.
You reach the peak
The narrator was using the word as a noun.
@@TwistedSoul2002 it reaches a crescendo is correct these days. Language changes and this has been used for years now. Basically means it’s reached it’s peak. Everyone uses it these days get over it
@@TwistedSoul2002 doesn't matter
@@darrell5403 doesn't mean it's correct
and i thought Norwich and ManU had a fan friendship^^
Conozco el efecto Delia
We are the Timbers, the Portland Timbers,
Green and Gold! Green and Gold! Green and Gold, Gold, Gold!
CS Mioveni
Interesting video considering the day you released it, there was talk that Glazers BORROWED MORE MONEY again. Hooray dig the debt pit deeper
i seen the thumbnail. this is the major issue. people buying replica jerseys with the green and gold scarf. defeats the purpose of what it stands for
truth is: they wanna play like the brazilian national team
According to the internet, since they changed name and colors they are not the same club and all their history is lost. Also interesting that the glazors are from Rochester NY, Rochester NY is home to one of the biggest US based clubs, the rochester rhinos whos colors are green and gold.
As someone from Rochester, the Rhinos are certainly not one of the biggest clubs lol but it is interesting that the Glazers are from there. I didn’t know that.
Newton Heath
Because they are secret Norwich fans, DUH!
Green and gold until the club is sold.
and what's it done after all those years? they're not going to move on since fans are suddenly wearing Norwich scarves. if fans want them out they simply need to not turn up
They secretly love the Portland Timbers
GREEN AND GOLD TILL THE CLUB IS SOLD! GLAZERS OUT!
I thought they gonna merge with Norwich☠️
Green and Gold until the club is sold. Brooklyn Reds we are here. LUHG.
Hate Glazer. Love United.
It's to pay homage to Karma Chameleon: red gold and green
Green and gold till the club is sold!
Me without watching: newton heath
It didn't have anything to do with 'Karma Chameleon'?
They’re all Norwich fans, or at least they might as well be
They’re all secretly Norwich fans
They're seceretly Norwich.
United fans logic: "We'll wear green and yellow scarfs in the stadium to show we don't like the owners. Now let's all get down the ticket office and spend £60 to get in. Waving our scarfs after giving them our money will really show them...."
Green and Gold till the Club is Sold!
In 2 months, the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Do you think the meme token of the Qatar Inu (Qatar) World Championship with a capitalization of $ 51,000 during the championship will be able to give X100-X1000 on this hype? I invested $ 200 in it, which is not a pity to lose, suddenly it will take off on the hype around the World Cup.
All thanks to Chatmaster, on a secret forum of the Red Issue Main Forum
how the heck did you own a club yet everyone at the club including the supporters hate you and wants you to sell the club, yet there you are doing nothing and act deft, what an immoral, family they are, didn't they have a shame or pride on their family name ?
Tifo rides Man United so hard
MU have fund but no management
Arsenal have process, imagine if their fans get Arteta sacked before this season
Because Norwich is their second club
Secret Norwich fans ain’t it??
Green and gold until the club is sold
that’s yellow,not gold
Usually it's because they've lost their previous game.
Green and yellow *
Ha! Our Norwich scarves 😄😄
Exactly, CMON CANARIES 😂
Don’t forget that they stole Liverpool’s original crescent
Because they secretly support Norwich
