This was the reply.
Thank you for contacting us regarding coverage on the BBC Sport website.
Impartiality is a core value of the BBC, and this is one reason why we believe our news and sport coverage is trusted and respected around the world.
We apply this principle to our reporting of all issues and topics. The BBC is of course independent of any political or commercial interests, and our news agenda would never be influenced by any outside organisation, or in this case, football club.
Ultimately, we know that not everyone will agree on what stories we should cover, how we should cover them, and to what extent. These are complex decisions that our news editors put a great deal of care and consideration into, based on the editorial merit of all the stories at hand on any given day.
We regret that you are unhappy with the level of coverage dedicated to Manchester United on the BBC Sport website, and please be assured we have noted your concerns.
All that being said your feedback is highly valued. All complaints are sent to senior management and the team at BBC Sport for review, and we’ve included your points in our daily overnight audience feedback report.
These reports are among the most widely read sources of feedback in the company and ensures that your concerns have been seen by the right people quickly. This helps inform their decisions about current and future content.
Thanks again for taking the time to get in touch.
Kind regards,
Abbie Crawford.

That is a very long winded way to say fcuk off.

Regardless of me being a City fan what about the other 18 premiership clubs and their followers. It is biased and unfair beyond belief, I will not rest on this.

Been there done that, good luck.
It's a bit like the long-haired left wing students of the late 60s and early 70s are now the Uni lecturers and civil servants and it takes decades to iron that out. Same unfortunately with places like BBC and SKY and Scum. Fed on a constant drivel of success under Taggart, these places are awash with Scum fans and it takes ages to get rid.
On the positive side, seems not that long ago that the only City rep on these programmes was Mike Summerbee, who got banned for telling them about their bias. Oh and Andy Hinchcliffe - who just as well never have played for us. Nowadays the first and second generation of City champions are all over the place - and biased as hell.
Great

I agree with Carl on this.
Micah is a lovely guy but he is way out of his depth, talks rubbish and I cannot see the punditry gig lasting for him.

He certainty talks shite, but in fairness they all do.
But the BBC seem to love him, so I reckon he;s here to stay.

By the local police, the cunts from UEFA are sleeping, of course.
