The support for the club was heightened when Super Eagles striker Odion Ighalo spent time on loan at the club between 2020 and 2021 from Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua.
Nigerian groom denounces Manchester United
As seen in a viral video on X, recirculated by Pulse Nigeria, a groom was forced by his bride's family to denounce the club he supports before he was allowed to take his wife.
A man, whom many users believe is the bride’s brother, was asked to make a demand from the groom and his request was unexpectedly connected to football.
The goon was hesitant, staring into his friends’ eyes, and they told him he had no choice but to denounce the club, the love for his wife over love for the football club.
Some fans in the comments section found it hilarious, while others claimed they would never do it if asked.

Amad Diallo scores for Manchester United
In another report, YEN.com.gh disclosed that Amad Diallo kicked off Manchester United's pre-season in style with a stunning strike against Rangers, opening the team's goal-scoring account.
The Ivorian winger, who found his form at the tail end of last season, broke the deadlock just six minutes before half-time.
Despite missing United's first pre-season game against Rosenborg, which ended in a 1-0 defeat, Diallo seamlessly integrated into his maiden match of the new campaign.
