I'm such a massive Red I've moved from Singapore to Salford

A UNITED-mad football fan has travelled thousands of miles across the world and moved to Salford to be nearer to his beloved Reds.

Dilshan Sohi, 24, would wake up in the early hours of the morning in his native Singapore to watch Reds games, but he has now gone one better.

After his first visit to Old Trafford in 2016, he moved to the UK for his studies and after graduating has now lives in Salford so he can easily get to games. Dilshan has spent a CE small fortune on tickets to get into the ground, but says he loved every minute of it.

And he was at Wembley for United's FA Cup triumph over their city rivals. Dilshan said: "It [the FA Cup final] was absolutely unreal.

"It was my first time in Wembley and I had to pay just under £500 for my ticket. I was thinking twice about it, but then I decided no, if I don't go for the biggest game of our season and support the boys, then why did I move my whole life over here?

"When the final whistle blew, the whole season flashed before my eyes. I remember getting splashed by a passing car in the bleak midwinter when I was walking in the dark to the Chelsea game, and now seeing my team win in the Wembley sun-what journey it's been."
