MAN United fans are the Premier League’s worst for leaving matches before the final whistle, a poll found.
Arsenal supporters ranked second in the survey followed by those of Manchester City, then Tottenham Hotspur.
Almost one in four fans in total admitted leaving at least one game early last season — with “beating the traffic” the main reason.
Others claimed they did it for superstitious reasons — or they just didn’t like the stadium.
Man United also saw the longest stoppage time at the end of games, so their early leavers were most at risk of missing last-minute goals.
Of all the 1,300 fans surveyed, a third say they missed at least one goal by heading for the hills.
