United have had an impressive season. I've seen parallels with Arsenal the season before - getting rid of disruptive millstones, an exciting coach getting a team on board with his process, and fans being a bit more optimistic for the future. I think United will be a contender for the league next season - not favourites by any stretch, but I think they will have an actual challenge rather than that weird banter thing that happened in January. The only question mark over them is the takeover and whether that translates over to player investment - I'm not going to lie, I'm hoping it's a hot mess

Nope. Nope nope nope. Having seen both our closest geographical rivals in Champions League finals recently I can honestly say I wanted nothing less than for either of them to win the CL. And City are just awful in general - they aren't likeable, and anyone trying to equivocate them is sportswashing.
My algorithm for British teams in European finals is:
Spurs - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Chelsea - NOOOOOOOOOO. Bought success, May their implosion continue apace.
City - see what I said above. Hard no, but wanted them to win in 2020 purely due to London rivalry.
United - don't want them to win because they were dominant when I was growing up so I'm hardwired to not like them
Liverpool - aware older fans will feel what I feel about United towards Liverpool but they were in fallow when I was young. Don't really mind them winning but can enjoy a good catastrophe as well.
Anyone else - probably want them to win. I'm up for West Ham winning the Conference final.
