- Fury ditches Man متحد for racing
- Boxing legend blasts Reds’ ongoing decline
- Amorim struggles as Old Trafford crisis deepens
Fury spent Bank Holiday Monday at Cartmel Racecourse cheering on two of his horses and made it brutally clear where his loyalties now lie: not with Ruben Amorim’s stuttering tenure and not even with إنجلترا'س وطني side. It marks a dramatic shift for a man who once threw himself into the world of football fandom.
At Euro 2016, Fury was spotted among England’s travelling army of supporters in فرنسا. Over the years, he’s also made multiple trips to Old Trafford, often seated in plush company, including alongside the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson during United’s unforgettable 4-3 FA Cup quarter-final victory over ليفربول in March 2024.
But while United went on to lift the FA Cup that season, the glory didn’t last. Ten Hag’s sacking and the arrival of Ruben Amorim promised change, yet the Portuguese boss has endured a nightmare start in Manchester. His side have managed just 28 points from their last 29 الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز matches, form more befitting a relegation scrap than a powerhouse.
Speaking to Racing TV during his day at the track, the ‘Gypsy King’ didn’t mince his words.
“I’m not a supporter of football really,” Fury said. “I used to support United, but because they’re in the sh*t now, I’m no supporter of any football teams anymore.
“I used to support England as well, but when they lost to أيسلندا in the Euros in 2016, that was me and football completely done with. Now I’m into horse racing, get up!”
After a frustrating draw with فولهام last time out, the Red Devils are staring down another crucial fixture, a كأس كاراباو second-round tie against Grimsby Town on Wednesday. After that, they will shift their attention to more Premier League action when they host Burnley on August 30.
