Shocking how many people that never talked about soccer for 10 years all of sudden have been huge City fans their whole lives the past 3 years.

That's interesting. I have yet to come across this phenomenon here in the UK. Even in Manchester where there are more City fans than United fans. You never see small children or teens wearing City kit on the streets of London, Brighton, Hull, Exeter or anywhere UK - and they are the ones that are the biggest (or smallest) glory hunters. The amount of young people that wear Chelsea and United kit over here far outstrips any other EPL club.
I still think that it pales in comparison to the amount of people that have no interest in football, or any connection to a club/community, that claim United as their EPL team of choice. And I don't think that City can ever be bigger than United globally because of the latter's aggressive business building campaign in SE Asia, Central America and Sub-Saharan Africa.
