 Is your Man United boyfriend crying? We have the tissues and advice 

It’s a tough day for Manchester United fans as they come to terms with a soul-crushing loss to Tottenham Hotspur. After the heartbreak of the Europa League final, this latest defeat has only deepened the wounds. The silence from United supporters is deafening, ironically, now almost sponsored by Spurs themselves.

But while the Red Devils sulk in silence, the trolls are anything but quiet. The internet is buzzing with brutal banter and relentless memes, amplifying the pain for every heartbroken Manchester boyfriend out there. At this point, checking on your United-loving significant other might be a public service.

If you’re wondering how to help your Manchester man cope with this football heartbreak, here are a few thoughtful ways to ease the sting and maybe even coax out a post-match smile:

Give him space to unload

Sometimes, the best therapy is simply letting it all out. Give him space to rant about those missed opportunities, baffling substitutions; why Luke Shaw definitely should’ve been benched (or not). You don’t have to offer solutions or even understand the tactics. Just nod, listen, and throw in a well-timed “Yeah, what was the coach thinking?” Being a safe space for his frustration is more powerful than you might realize. Sometimes, the best way to heal is by feeling heard and understood.

Share in the suffering

Even if football isn’t your thing, showing that you care about him is what matters most. Sympathize with his pain, even if you don’t know the difference between offside and outside. A simple “I hate seeing you this upset” can mean more than you think. If you're feeling bold, you could even playfully ban the mention of “Spurs” for the day—just to show that your loyalty lies with him, not the score line. Sharing the suffering doesn’t mean mirroring his heartbreak; it’s about letting him know that he's not alone in it.

Give him hope

In times like this, a little hope can go a long way. While the defeat stings, remind him that this is far from the end of the story. There’s always the promise of new beginnings on the horizon. Highlight the exciting potential of up-and-coming players showing flashes of brilliance or transfer rumors that could bring in the game-changer the team needs next season. Great teams often rise from setbacks. This moment may feel grim, but brighter days and better matches are just around the corner.

Offer a safe space

The internet doesn’t play fair, especially after a Manchester United loss. Memes, trolls, and relentless banter are just a scroll away, each one sharper than the last. If you have to, gently “misplace” his phone for a bit. Create a bubble of calm away from the online chaos: a cozy couch, a favorite show, a comforting meal, or even just a little peace and quiet. In a world that won’t stop reminding him of the score line, offering him a peaceful escape can feel like a small but meaningful rescue.

Destruct him

Finally, consider finding ways to keep him pleasantly occupied and engaged, especially with activities like ‘bedminton’. This could also be an ideal time to introduce that special lingerie or try out the role-play you've been wanting to explore. If these efforts don't seem to make a difference, take him to therapy.
