WATCH: Manchester United fans in Uganda celebrate season opener Premier League win with feast

New Delhi: Manchester United started the Premier League 2024-25 season on a positive note with a 1-0 win against Fulham on Friday at the Old Trafford. More than 6000 miles away from Manchester, the supporters of Red Devils were left with jubilance.

A video of fans in Africa’s Uganda are seen celebrating the Premier League opener triumph by distributing food in a village area. A few people, donning the Manchester United shirt, were seen serving hundreds of plates full of rice with the others arranging them in order.

The video was shared by the X platform named Patro Uganda, which is the country’s news platform. Watch the video here:

There is no hidden fact about Manchester United enjoying a massive fan-following across the globe. Even though the English club hasn’t clinched the Premier League for more than a decade now (last one was won in 2012-23). In last season, United finished eighth in the league table.
However, the club won its 13th FA Cup after defeating rivals Manchester City 2-1 in the final. In October last year, Manchester United beat Newcastle United 2-0 to lift the Carabao Cup at the Wembley Stadium to end their six-year drought for a trophy.

Joshua Zirkzee shines on debut

Joshua Zirkzee admitted it was an unbelievable feeling to mark his Manchester United debut with the late goal that clinched a dramatic 1-0 win against Fulham. The 23-year-old striker came off the bench in the second half and delivered a memorable first impression as his 87th-minute strike gave United the perfect start to the new season.

The Netherlands striker completed his switch from Bologna a month ago, but was among several United players to get an extended break after Euro 2024. He missed all of United’s friendlies and was an unused substitute in last weekend’s Community Shield loss to Manchester City.
