IShowSpeed criticized both Erik ten Hag and the goalkeeper for such lackluster performances. He portrayed no inclination to renew his season ticket with CR7’s former side after the defeat. The well-known streamer ranted, “That’s it. That seals the deal. I am no longer a United fan. I’m not going to renew my season ticket. Ten Hag and Onana are outlawed as of today. I will become a fan of Al Nassr now, where they actually know how to run a football club.”
After that, Sadio Mane extended a warm welcome to the YouTuber at Al Nassr. The Liverpool icon responded with genuine emotions to the Youtuber’s admiration for Al Alami. He penned a message expressing, “Trust the process”. It was a boost of confidence by the Senegalese while publicly acknowledging Speed’s passionate support for his Middle Eastern side.
