I like this, a lot.Chris in London said:You are all going about this the wrong way.
OP - go in their grubby tat emporium, go in in person, and go in wearing your 2012/13 home shirt, the one with the gold 'Champions' arm patches. If you bought the 'Champions 12' shirt, so much the better. Do NOT wear a jacket, or anything that covers your shirt up. Wear it, and wear it with pride.
Take your time selecting the discloth your nephew desires. Stand up tall, stand up proud. Disregard the cowed glances from day trip rags and japanese tourists. You will be robocop in the land of the smurfs. And when anybody asks you, explain that your nephew supports United, and you are doing it for him, the same as you would go in the disney shop if he wanted a Toy Story cowboy outfit.
Take your time in the queue. Look the spotty sales assistant in the eye. Hand over your hard earned, not for their sake or the Glazer's sake, but because he is your nephew and family matters, even when they go over to the dark side.
Do it this way because these days, we intimidate them, not the other way round.
Alternatively, just tell the little twat that Santa is a blue so he is getting absolutely fuck all
