The moment he named his cat “Becks”
Officials eventually let him change his name to Manchester, but refused to allow United as his surname, saying it could be used as a trademark.
“Fred the Red” and “Sack Noyes” were already taken.
“Some friends are even making fun of me, by asking ‘OK, now that you are already officially known as Manchester, is your surname actually City or United? “
Hint: these aren’t his friends.
Now, Mr. Man U has one-upped himself and tattooed his loyalty on his forehead saying, “The tattoo’s my ID card. ‘People don’t look at me in a funny way, they look in admiration.’
The Sun would like to retract the following: headline should read “Meathead”.
The Bulgarian says it confirms his commitment to the Red Devils. ‘Now, whenever someone asks my name, I point to my forehead and smile. It makes me stand out and proves my loyalty to United,’ he added.
