Manchester City will never be as popular as United because of the way they buy trophies and shut the door on youth players, according to Mikael Silvestre. They just buy trophies, United are all about growing players. City buy multiple stars and shut the door to the youth system. United have more courage. They are a club with a family spirit.Those who come through the ranks absorb the mentality, the history of the club so they show the heritage in their performances. The way they do their business, it doesnt get people to support them, they might win trophies here and there but they wont gain support. I have been travelling a lot for United in the last six months. I have been to Asia, and the support there is unbelievable and honestly City is nowhere near that. Ten years ago you would come to the States and you would have some quiet time, but thats not the case anymore, now you cant walk by yourself in New York or any other major city and not be recognised.
