A traitor isn't so mcu about who they play for, it's about their conduct in their career that affects certain clubs.
For instance Rooney saying once a blue always a blue then going to kiss the Man Utd badge is just shite.
Same goes for Smith who went as far as to slag off Man Utd when he was at Leeds and as soon as they come calling he backtracks. Bad form.
*ahem*... pales into nothing compared with the controversy from West Ham to Man Utd.
But in my opinion, he has maybe received a slight raw deal from West Ham fans as apparently much of it was the fault of his then agent, though his conduct was disgraceful at the time he was still at us.
Depends if all what is said is to be believed.
For anyone that doesn't know the story, Paul Ince was set to join Man Utd and was pictured in a Man Utd kit before he even joined them.
The deal fell through and he was left to play for us, having modelled himself in a Man Utd kit... not good and never been forgiven.
Though Ince's side of the story is that apparently it was his agent's idea for him to do some quick pics for the 'completed' deal before he went on holiday.
Ince picked up an injury and Ferguson scrapped the deal but a journalist had already come across the pictures that were taken and published them anyway.
Obviously Ince received much hate from West Ham fans and still does to this day. His attitude when he was with us for the short time before he eventually did join Man Utd was disgraceful.
He never tried and in one particular game he literally didn't stray from the centre circle for ages as it was clear he just didn't want to be at the club.
