"I'm no longer a Manchester United fan" - IShowSpeed pledges allegiance to Cristiano Ronaldo's team, Al-Nassr respond brilliantly
Die-hard Cristiano Ronaldo fan and popular streamer IShowSpeed delivered a scathing rant via his X (Twitter) account following Manchester United's 2-3 home defeat to Galatasaray in the Champions League.
Gala came from behind twice in the game before grabbing a late winner via Mauro Icardi to send the Red Devils to the bottom of Group A.
After the game, Speed posted the following on his X account:
"That's it. That seals the deal. I am no longer a (Manchester) United fan. I've been a United member since 1987 and a season ticket holder since 1999. I'm not going to renew my season ticket. Ten Hag and Onana are outlawed as of today. I will become a fan of Al-Nassr now, where they actually know how to run a football club."
Despite grabbing the lead twice at 1-0 and 2-1, Manchester Untied led the game for a total of just 10 minutes as Galatasaray secured their first win on English soil in their 117-year existence.
To make matters worse, Casemiro saw red for two bookable offences and Mauro Icardi grabbed a late winner to inflict United's second defeat in as many games in the Champions League this season.
Speed's involvement and presence at Manchester United games peaked last season as Cristiano Ronaldo made his dream return to the club. However, things did not end well for the Portuguese, who secured a move to Al-Nassr in the January transfer window.
The Saudi-based club acknowledged Speed's rant and welcomed him to their games with open arms in a classy Tweet that said:
"You're already one of us. See you soon at the @VictoryArena_sa."
Al-Nassr will host Abha in their next game in the Saudi Pro League (SPL) on Friday, October 6.
