7 h. ago Benjamin Sesko is latest player damned by a pitiless conveyor belt of takes and memes | Jonathan Liew

Manchester United’s striker is a topic of context-free condemnation as social media’s sluice of aggravation sinks us allThe first thing you need to do is find a photo of Rasmus Højlund looking happy in a Napoli shirt. There you are. Now you find a photo of Benjamin Sesko looking sad in a Manchester United shirt. Like he’s just missed an open goal. No, obviously you don’t need to find a photo of him missing an open goal. The less context here, the better. Now pop the photos side by side. Overlay the goal stats in big buffoonish font. Don’t forget the emojis. Post to all social media channels.Will you mention that Højlund’s tally includes goals in the Champions League while Sesko is not competing in Europe at all? You will not. Nor will you mention that four of Højlund’s goals have come against Belarus and Greece, or the fact that Denmark are a much better team than Slovenia and create many more chances. You run socials for a big media brand, pure liquid engagement is what puts food o...

48 h. ago ‘My name is Manchester United’: the superfan who fought to change his identity

There are supporters and then there was the Bulgarian Marin Levidzhov, who died this week aged 62Ask any Manchester United fan of a certain age what 26 May 1999 means to them, and they will tell you the date has marked them for life. It was the night injury-time goals from Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjær sealed United’s 2-1 comeback in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich at the Camp Nou. It was also the night the life of one United fan in Bulgaria, who has died this week at the age of 62, changed for ever.That supporter was born Marin Zdravkov Levidzhov in Svishtov, a town on the Danube with a population of 22,000.
