I will not go much into United's history as Wikipedia can give you a detailed article on it, here. The basic purpose of this blog is to tell how I started supporting MUFC.
It goes back to 1999, I was never aware of United at that time but during the FIFA WC 99's promo shows, I became a fan of Peter Schemeichel, the then goalie and captain of United. Things moved on and I really started watching football in 2004. It hurts to say but I did start following football as a glory hunter. I started supporting United when they ended Arsenal's unbeaten run in the Premier League. I supported Liverpool in that famous 2005 Champions League final, because I have hated AC Milan ALWAYS!! it continued the way it was before I joined all these social networking sites and United fan pages. It was then when I became aware of United's history and the 'never say die' attitude, watching all their past videos. My respect for United increased more after reading about the 'Busby Babes' and how Sir Matt Busby took the team who lost its 8 players, finest players in the football world that time, after being relegated to the second division, back to winning the league. You can judge United's popularity from the fact that United's Facebook page has over 20 million fans
As I said earlier, I will support Manchester United till my last breath and now I think that 19 being my birth date, I was destined to be a Manchester United Supporter !!
