Manchester United Have Been Voted The Most Toxic Fanbase In Online Poll

SPORTbible put the question out to fans on social media and then from the most commented answers, composed a poll consisting of four teams.

And it was United who scooped the unwanted toxic tag with a staggering 39.9% of the 17,000 votes cast.

Real Madrid fans have a knack for booing their own players as the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Iker Casillas and they occupy the fourth and final place in the poll with 12.6% of the votes.

But according to the audience, United are the worst set of supporters. Fans of the 13-time Premier League champions have grown frustrated in recent years following the departure of legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

United's last league title came in Ferguson's last season in 2012/13 and the club are approaching five years without trophy.

Fans have regularly protested against their owners, the Glazer family and stormed the Old Trafford pitch last season - resulting in the postponement of the game against Liverpool.

United's Old Trafford wasn't too far behind in second place with 38.2% of votes, with plenty feeling as though the 'Theatre of Dreams' isn't all it's cracked up to be.

St James' Park, belonging to Newcastle United, was third on 9.2%, while Leeds' home Elland Road finished off the voting on 8.1%.

Just short of 50,000 votes were cast in the poll.
