i am a Bengali American, who has no real ties to England or United but from the very first moment I saw the red shirt and the players like Rooney and Scholes that I've grown up to admire, I have not been able to turn back and almost feel like Old Trafford along with Manchester is home. It's a weird feeling, I fantasize about one day being in Old Trafford. I imagine that day to be one of the best days of my life. Being hundreds of thousands of miles away and never have stepped on Manchester grass, this club is what I am tied to. It's an unreal feeling I have had since 2008. Thats most of my life, I am 25. It's ridiculous.
I started supporting Utd in 77’ and barely remember us winning the Fa Cup, 83’ and 85’ was magic as a kid, but had to suffer the torment of Liverpool, but winning the premier league with Fergie was so joyous because of the wait. Hopefully soon I’ll have that feeling back, which will mean more than the glory years and that’s because of the wait.
One of my cousins is the defenition of a fairweather fan, in his 40 years on the planet he has supported Man United, then Arsenal, then Chelsea and now hes a Liverpool fan, has to be said dont speak to him much anymore.
