Former stadium superstar Crowe, once a Manchester United legend, is much admired by fans. Last summer, he returned to his old stomping grounds, shouldering the heavy responsibility of saving the Red Devils. However, the recent transfer rumors, coupled with an unexpected departure in the warm-up match, triggered the dissatisfaction of many Manchester United fans, and there was even speculation that this could be Crow's swansong at Manchester United.
Before the end of the game, Crow left the field without authorization, and his "God of Gambling-style back" photo quickly became popular on the Internet, provoking strong "anti-Crow" sentiment. Many fans have speculated that he is about to leave Manchester United, some people said: "This may be his last game in the Otford, really shameful."
Immediately afterward, some netizens chimed in, "That's right, this could be his last fight." What's more, some said that they no longer see Crowe as a member of Manchester United.
Crowe had posted on social media, "The king returns on Sunday." It looked like he was going to make a comeback to face Vallejo Januario, but he left the field early in the game, sparking jeers from fans: "The king is gone."
Crow's relationship with Manchester United and its fans has hit the freezing point, and leaving the team seems to be his only way out. However, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and other big clubs have all said that they will not sign him. If Crowe wants to join a team that will qualify for the next UEFA Champions League, a return to his parent club Sporting may be his biggest chance.
