In the latest instalment of a series talking to fans around the world, Andy Mitten travelled to San Diego to meet United supporters who’ve made California their home. Others in the series: Advertisement Why United? Steve Norby, 53: People say it’s a cliche to support Manchester United and it is, but they don’t know the individual stories. Yes, it’s the biggest club in the world but I grew up watching soccer with my dad in the ’70s — it gets me emotional thinking of that.
I couldn’t get to every game from America and would give the ticket to friends. That was an issue. I stopped going properly to games around 2005. My last visit was in 2014 when Falcao and Angel Di Maria signed. I saw Falcao as the Messiah. I was wrong. I still go on pre-season tours. Keith Wales: I’m originally from Romford, Essex. I’d watched United play in the finals at Wembley in ’76 and ’77.
