It’s kind of sad that this guy has so little going on in his life. And he’s so delusional about where his life is really at. Take a look at this. Take it all in.
Let it all sink in for a minute.

That is the Bulgarian super fan of Manchester United who legally changed his name to Manchester Zdravkov Levidzhov-United. We’re not making this up.
The man wanted to change his name to Mr. Manchester United — without any references to his original name — but the courts denied him citing trademark concerns, Inside World Football reports. So, Levidzhov-United compromised, although he wasn’t too happy about it, which is why he opted to get the tattoo.
“I am a man who fought till the end. Some think I’m a joker, but things are more serious than you think. Just for one simple name! Bulgaria is not a constitutional state. I want to prove this,” Levidzhov-Manchester says (via Inside World Football). “I have not decided it today, that is my intention from the end of 2009. My initial idea was to get tattooed an ID on my forehead. This is now a way of protest against the mess in the judiciary.”
He added (via The Sun): “People don’t look at me in a funny way, they look in admiration.” {Washington Post}
