Wow some laugh out loud posts on here on why they all support United. Not a lot give geographical reasons.
Back 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.
self explanatory


Because United were popular and won a lot of things. And Beckham, who was popular too, was a United player.
from Lodz, Poland


I was born in Manchester to a family 99% City fans - it seemed the obvious choice.
Should have been euthanized


Early to mid '90s in South Africa - United were most often the team on telly. My dad and (older) brothers are all Liverpool supporters.
ho hum


Beckham, Van Nistlerooy and the red white and black colours
Melbourne; strewth


My family hates United (Dad supports Leeds and everyone else is pretty much also Leeds/Arsenal fans).
Bet he's popular in his family


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.
see what we're up against over here?


I 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,
Jesus wept


I 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.
Singapore


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.
WTF?
 
We had a decent game against a resurgent side.
Our next 2 games are very winnable and will give us momentum before the game against Liverpool.
What the actual fuck are you doing on this forum? Everything to do with your utterly loathsome club is abhorrent to everyone on here so what do you get from offering up your mindless ramblings of pointless shit that no one is remotely interested in.
Odd to say the least
 
I'd expect nothing less from a Pimm's quaffing, sports jacket wearing, home counties born, coat losing, rugger bugger, like your good self.

Goatersnipple is giving him shit and probably thinks he can take him, but should he steal GDM's coat it will all go off. GDM will hit him across the face with a glove and give him the option of sabre or pistol.

The saga of the stolen coat will forever live on in the memories of those unfortunate enough to witness it.

I missed that one (it was the one before that when we met and you forgot me) but I did receive a phone call from him at the cricket dinner I was at, he was slightly distressed and slurring as he regaled the story about a coat and an umpa lumpa. It was only when I got on here a day or two later that I got a fuller picture of what happened, his only retort was "I dont like the look of this"
 
From the Caf
My worst nightmare would be for Giggs to take over, I would keep LVG for now and hope we can get either Guardiola or Mourinho in the summer.
We've still got work to do guys. We may have won the battle for the moment but we still haven't won the war. We need sleepers in there who can convince them that the family man is the future and represents the best hope for returning them to the 'United way'.
 
I get the George Best thing. The rest are utter glory hunters.
