I started supporting Manchester United because of my brothers. Their banter around football was as exciting as it often got annoying, but when you stick around long enough, it begins to rub off on you, and the initiation eventually becomes automatic.I’ve had incredible moments watching Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie. I love Patrice Evra’s personality as well, but much of that was after he had left the club and became very active on Instagram.
You’re normally extremely busy as a musical artist, but have you had a chance to watch United at Old Trafford? I haven’t had enough time to watch matches lately because I spend so much time touring, recording or attending to brand obligations. I watched that match we lost against Liverpool, though, and it was such an embarrassing match. I had people calling to taunt me for days. Annoying people! It’s part of the game, though. There will always be losses. The important thing is to acknowledge our shortcomings and strive to do better. So I’m not mad anymore.
