-Many of their players have faces that you just have to hate; Neville, Carrick, Vidic to name the first three that spring to mind
-Carrick has the addition of being so arrogant and ignorant at the same time - he did an interview couple of seasons back where he claimed Man Utd were going to end Chelsea's dominance in the premier league. Yes, that's right, a player for the team who had, at that point, something like 11 out of 15 premier league titles were going to end Chelsea's dominance.
-The way they play the victim - the media are against them (despite the claims of man utd bias at sky), the referees are against them (despite that oft-quoted fact of 80% of decisions going their way at old trafford), the FA are against them (despite having one of their men in position of power at the FA)
-The way the bad they do is downplayed ("it's a typical scholes challenge") and the good they do is hyped beyond reason (such as spending the entire half time period discussing Ronaldo's behind the leg cross, having not devoted similar time in the past when Kewell did it for leeds (I think), and Kewell's led to a goal)
-General hypocrisy (criticising teams for surrounding the ref, while doing it themselves, criticising teams for buying success while three of their team were bought for upwards of 30m, etc.)
-The arrogance of their supporters who dismiss people who have genuine gripes with Man Utd as simply being jealous or following the crowd and hating jut because it's trendy.
