Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has expressed the confidence that Manchester United FC will survive the lull it is experiencing.
When the likes of Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea are performing up to expectation, United has been a shadow of itself almost since the beginning of the season.
Even Arsenal, which used to be the jest bag, has kicked itself into reckoning.
Tinubu, however, on Thursday expressed the hope that Man U has the capacity and heritage that can surprise anyone.
The influential politician, who declared that he was a Man U fan, said, “Whatever is happening to Man United, no one club can stay up forever. They’ve set a great record already and we would be back on top. I think we are around number seven in the English Premier League table now. It’s too early in the season to write us off, we will never say die.”
According to a report in The PUNCH, Tinubu made this known when he hosted Eagles star and a former Chelsea player, Mikel Obi, in the politician’s Bourdillon home in Ikoyi, Lagos.
The footballer visited him concerning his Mikel Obi Foundation, for which Tinubu promised support.
The APC chief disclosed that although he was a Man U fan, Mikel’s involvement with Chelsea made him have sympathy for the latter too.
