United are top of the league again – as Britain’s most hated club.
The 19-time champions pulled in more almost a third of the total vote in a survey of over 2000 fans by online betting site 888.
Chelsea were second, with 10% of the hate vote, with Arsenal just behind them with 9.3%.
Liverpool came fourth while big-spending Manchester City, who are currently top of the Premier League, were fifth.
But only 6% of supporters said a club’s success was a key factor in forming their dislike. The biggest reason was historical rivalry (21.5%) followed by the behaviour of players (14.6%) and the behaviour of fans (17.45%).
Other factors included geographical closeness to their own home club (11.45%), wealth (9.6%) and the manager’s behaviour (6.7%).

Its another title Man United have over Liverpool.
It goes along with the ugliest players in five consecutive decades award, and the most fans support a team from a place they've never heard of award.
