THE LOWDOWN — THE FULL HISTORY
THE NIGHT
United lost a cup tie from 2–0 up, and half of football smiled.
THE REAL SUBJECT
This film isn't about that night. It's about the thirteen years since — why the world still hate-watches Manchester United, and what that hate is actually made of.
THE QUESTION
Whether the hate-watch is protecting United's standards, or trapping their future. No rage, no bait — just the question United fans and their rivals both have to answer now.
