My Love for Manchester United

Watching  Manchester United  play football will always remain a joy for me. I am 21 years old and my love  for this great club started in 2002. My father always used to watch Football World cup so I also had love for this game. 2002 WC bought love in me for football and then I wanted to watch it more and learn more about the game. I was 10 years then so didnt knew that much about the game.  I always looked out for football games and watched how goals were scored and how exciting this game was. I thought World cup was the only football tournament but then I got to know that there are club footballs also (Through Fifa game). Then I started following English premier league as here in India it was more promoted than other leagues during that time. I couldn't watch the game but managed to see all the goals scored in the matches via a programme named Goal which was telecasted in ESPN. At that moment I saw Manchester united in action. I dont  remember the opponents but United were scoring goals for fun. The player that I became fan of was Ruud Van Nistelrooy. He was just awesome. He went on to score 150 goals for Manchester United. Then I got to know more about the club, mind you I still wasnt a Official fan of the club, other player who was very much famous around the world caught my eye and his name was David Beckham. Pattern of scoring goals for united was simple, it was Beckham crossing and Ruud Scoring. I just loved that. After that I had my third favorite player  it was paul scholes.   He was a genius. He knew about the game so well , if I thought Beckham was the best passer then I realized I hadnt seen anything because the real champion in passing was paul scholes. After seeing Paul Scholes play my love for football increased very much. Then came the moment, the moment where my love began for the club. It was a champions league game against Real Madrid during the month  of april. It was the quarter finals second leg match  Again I did not watch the match live, but this was the first time I had seen a whole game. It was just a classic. People who have not seen this game go and watch, 4-3 was the result in favour of Manchester United. Eventhough United were knocked out of the competition but It did not matter to me. I had found my love for Manchester united and became a official fan of the. Then I watched my first live game where Ruud scored a hattrick and United won. The season was over and we became champion. From then on I have tried to watch almost every game. As each season passes by my love for this club increases. I got to know about the history of the club The tragic plane crash which killed players of Manchester United, about the great Sir Bobby Charlton , period we were relegated, Emergence of Sir Alex ferguson, about many great players like Best, Law, Cantona, Giggs, Scholes, Charlton and even Duncan edward. For the past 8 years I have watched almost every game live. Overall I Feel privileged to support Manchester united. If I had not played Fifa game then maybe I wouldnt have become a fan of football, if I had not watched Man United- Real Madrid game I wouldnt have become a fan of this club. It was in my destiny to supprt this great club and I am happy in doing that.
