There’s been enough negative Manchester United headlines in the news lately. Louis van Gaal still winless in his first three attempts with the new club is demoralizing enough. Now one of the worst people in the entire world, North Korean ruling despot Kim Jong-Un, is a Red Devils supporter it turns out. Yes, that Kim Jong-Un, who loves to shoot his rockets off in order to get attention from America, is a United fan.
Yeah, I’m alarmed and disturbed too. From the Manchester Evening News:
It turns out the communist dictator of North Korea, Kim Jong-Un, supports the Old Trafford outfit.
According to reports, that’s something he now wants to share with the rest of his country.
North Korea has very strict policies on the media, and only what has been sanctioned by the state can be searched for online, listened to or seen on TV.
And now the games will be broadcast to all of North Korea through state TV.
It’s said to come amid other changes, which could include more European football, from Germany.
