Johnny Sexton, former Irish Rugby Captain its a huge United fan. So are Brian O'Driscoll and Keith Wood. Ronan O'Gara is a big Liverpool Fan.

Elon Musk is a United fan I believe.

I’m pretty sure people will have mentioned that Bernard Sumner and Peter Hook of Joy Division and New Order are Reds.

Damien Duff was a massive united fan.
He still is -

"I always supported then who I played for, supported Blackburn, supported Chelsea, but it's only kind of when I retried I've realised, my God I just love Manchester United.

Driving there with my kids last week [to Old Trafford for Michael Carrick's testimonial], the only reason I kind of played in it to be fair my kids never really saw me play in a game in a big stadium, but I brought them over and I see the Man Utd sign at Old Trafford, and I was like, that's ingrained in me.

I used to watch my Man Utd videos when I was four, five, and it just kind of all came flooding back.

It was Carrick's testimonial but it felt like my day!"

except that Julia expressly stated she was a United fan and she never did the same for Real Madrid

wearing the jersey of a certain club and taking pictures with players of that club doesn't mean he/she is a fan of that club

Surprised nobody mentioned Ian McShane. His dad played for United and he even made Lovejoy a United fan in the TV show. Seen him at a few games.

He’s not. During the time we were looking for a buyer - a bunch of mentalists started harassing him on Twitter about buying United. He then jokingly tweeted about it/United a couple times - much like he did with Doge coin when he needed wanted a quick flip.

But Musk quickly clarified that he was kidding. “This is a long-running joke on Twitter. I’m not buying any sports teams,” he wrote. Still, he added, “If it were any team, it would be Man Utd. They were my fav team as a kid.”

He just said that. He got a decent following from the aforementioned joke tweets about United - he says the same about whichever crypto scams he wants to pump at any given time, but alas

Has Zoe Ball been mentioned yet?
Zoe Ball is a plastic , saw her in Vienna in 96 when we won 2-0 and she was there for a publicity shoot and was absolutely terrified , she stated she was a United fan because her dad supported Liverpool , soon after that changed her support to Brighton her husbands team , to be fair he is a loyal fan

I doubt either have been to a game. Maybe watched the Cup Finals in a Cheshire wine bar though.
