32 red rooney daily mail

A classic!

"32 Red" is a famous phrase coined by the Daily Mail's sports journalist, Paddy Power, to describe the number of times Manchester United's legendary manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, would lose a match.

The phrase was born out of a conversation between Power and Ferguson, where Ferguson jokingly said that he would lose 32 games in a season. Power, being a keen journalist, picked up on the quote and ran with it, and the phrase "32 Red" was born.

The phrase became a popular way to describe Manchester United's occasional losses, and it's still used today to poke fun at the team's occasional slip-ups.
