Wow some laugh out loud posts on here on why they all support United. Not a lot give geographical reasons.
self explanatoryBack home in Nigeria in the late 90s early 2000s we were always on TV. They showed the other teams highlights but United games were always shown live. It was natural for me. I was between 8 and 10 then so I got hooked and never looked back since.
from Lodz, PolandBecause United were popular and won a lot of things. And Beckham, who was popular too, was a United player.
Should have been euthanizedI was born in Manchester to a family 99% City fans - it seemed the obvious choice.
ho humEarly to mid '90s in South Africa - United were most often the team on telly. My dad and (older) brothers are all Liverpool supporters.
Melbourne; strewthBeckham, Van Nistlerooy and the red white and black colours
Bet he's popular in his familyMy family hates United (Dad supports Leeds and everyone else is pretty much also Leeds/Arsenal fans).
see what we're up against over here?Im gonna blame George Best. Im pretty sure hes a big part of the reason most Irish people ended up following United in the 60s.
Jesus weptI was born in West Yorkshire but my mums side are all from across the Pennines and are all United fans. My Dad is from Sheffield and is a Wednesday fan,
SingaporeI watched the CL 99' final when I was 6 years old (think I watched most of the CL games that season though but can't remember for sure).Knew about most of the players before that due to my dad.
WTF?Since the 1976 FA Cup Final when we lost to Southampton. My dad said "support the local North West team". Being from Preston some would argue I'm not a valid supporter and that PNE should be my team but, since that day aged almost 7, I fell in love with United and that has never wavered.
