A Manchester United supporter on X, mbuemo era, has reignited the long-running banter between Chelsea and United fans following the Blues’ 2–1 Premier League defeat to Aston Villa, calling out what he described as unnecessary hype surrounding Chelsea’s season, Softfootball reports.
With Chelsea fans previously speaking confidently about a potential title challenge and top-four push, mbuemo era couldn’t resist pointing out that, beneath the noise, the numbers tell a very different story. According to him, the league table paints a picture that looks far closer to Manchester United’s struggles than to that of a genuine title contender.
Reacting directly to Chelsea’s post-match report shared via the club’s official X handle, the United fan laid out a blunt statistical comparison between the two sides, writing:
Chelsea this season in the Premier League
Same point as United
Same draws as United
Same wins as United
Same Losses as United.
But they are in the Title race while Manchester United are battling relegation.
The post quickly struck a chord with football fans, sparking widespread reactions in the comment section as supporters weighed in on the comparison.
@Zikroll laughed:
We have them an heads up 😭.. and still caught up.
@I Post Anything LFC joined the banter, adding:
Cook your fellow mid.
@Osinakachi backed the take, saying:
You are right ooo.
@Barsh suggested reality would soon set in:
They will soon tell Themselves the truth.
Not everyone was convinced, though, as @Innocent pushed back humorously:
This your cooking ingredients is different from that one I have.
Meanwhile, Osborn_ug looked ahead with confidence:
We will finish above them this season.
Chelsea’s loss came against an Aston Villa side flying high, with Unai Emery’s men extending their impressive run to eight consecutive Premier League wins. Villa now sit third on the table with 39 points, 10 points clear of both Chelsea and Manchester United, who are currently fifth and sixth respectively.
Manchester United, notably, also suffered defeat to Aston Villa last week, adding extra spice to the debate as both clubs continue to chase consistency in a tightly contested Premier League campaign.
