My family are all United supporters.

a) When did you start supporting United? 1996
b) Which Player when you started supporting United was your Favorite? Beckham
c) Which is your favorite player since supporting United until now? Scholes
d) Which Player is your favorite in the team now? Martinez

f) Favorite Game? Champions league semi final vs Arsenal at the Emirates in 2009
g) Favorite Kit? 12-13 home
h) Favorite United Team? which season. 07-08
My answers for a) through e) are exactly the same as yours

f) vs Liverpool, FA Cup 4th round, January 1999. 2-1.
g) black away shirt 2007/08
h) too tight to call between 98/99 and 07/08

i had already started “following” them by then but what really sparked things for me we’re the games against Juventus in 1996/97 group stage. We lost both. But the red shirts, Cantona with his collar up, Schmeichel, Old Trafford. We only had domestic TV at that point so Champions League on ITV was some of the only live football we got. It was magic. That season did it for me. Watching BBC Sportsnight when we got knocked out the cup at Wimbledon but Schmeichel scored a bicycle kick that was disallowed oh memories.

Played fifa 2002 on GameCube. My older brother used Manchester United. They became the only team I would use after that.
One day I was watching TV and came across a Manchester United game. Watched it. Never looked back.

a) When did you start supporting United?

2002

b) Which Player when you started supporting United was your Favorite?

When I learned who is who, Rooney 100%.

c) Which is your favorite player since supporting United until now?

Rooney

d) Which Player is your favorite in the team now?

Lisandro Martinez

e) Best Player that has played for United?

That I've seen? Ronaldo before ditching us for Madrid

f) Favorite Game?
Not sure.

g) Favorite Kit?
Not sure.. Red

h) Favorite United Team? which season.
07-08... really strong team and most seemed likeable to me. our forwards/wingers now are so bad in comparison but at least our CBs are pretty good now (Martinez, varane).

So what made you become a United Fan?

United has one of the biggest worldwide fan bases of any football team, why with all the many teams in the world did you choose United to be your Team of choice?

a) When did you start supporting United?
b) Which Player when you started supporting United was your Favorite?
c) Which is your favorite player since supporting United until now?
d) Which Player is your favorite in the team now?
e) Best Player that has played for United?
f) Favorite Game?
g) Favorite Kit?
h) Favorite United Team? which season.

Interest to hear how you ended up supporting United.

a) When did you start supporting United?Somewhere around 2000ish. Oddly enough I wasn’t a Manchester United fan even when I saw the ‘99 CL final. I was young. And in the States, Arsenal and Madrid were on tele much more often. Even though they were great to watch I was always more sweet on United. I was a new wave kid. Smiths, Joy Division and so on. And I think that put the hook in me to dive more into the club’s history and all that. Once I did it became an obsession.
b) Which Player when you started supporting United was your Favorite? Scholes.
c) Which is your favorite player since supporting United until now? Scholesy. Although Cantona is a close second. Also love Rooney to bits.
d) Which Player is your favorite in the team now? Antony or Martinez. Too early to say.
e) Best Player that has played for United? Best or Law.
f) Favorite Game? Probably Barca 07 CL semi. Obviously the final was fantastic as well.
g) Favorite Kit? It’s between the late 90’s Sharp collared kit and the 07 black. Both mint.
h) Favorite United Team? which season. 07 is impossible to look past. Although I really think 06 was more fun to watch.

Great thread.

I believe he played a few league games after, definitely his last CL game for us though.

Unbelievable game, from Ronaldo's hat trick to Becks heroics coming on, still my favorite match ever almost twenty years later.

My uncle worked (and still works) for Boeing, a major aerospace company. Rolls Royce makes part of their plane engines, so he would go over to the UK frequently. After a trip in the summer of 1999 he brought back a Manchester United encyclopedia, freshly updated to include the Treble success. As a kid in Washington state without a local team (the Sounders were a minor league team at the time), I gravitated towards United's success and read that encyclopedia cover to cover - my favorite name was Nobby Stiles.

Saw them play for the first time in 2003 when they came to play Celtic in Seattle - I got to be on the pitch that day and shag balls during shooting practice. Have seen them a few times since during their US summer tours, and try to watch every game possible (even the ones starting at 4:30am my time!).

a) When did you start supporting United? 1996 after watching us get pumped 5-0 at St.James's Park

b) Which Player when you started supporting United was your Favorite? Eric

c) Which is your favorite player since supporting United until now?
Roy Keane - epitomised everything you want to see from one of your players.

d) Which Player is your favorite in the team now?
Tough question, there aren't many that are particularly likeable! It's very early days but I'd suggest Martinez.

e) Best Player that has played for United?
I can't really talk of those prior to 96 as I don't think stats and clips would do everyone justice. In terms of ability, it's a toss up between Rooney and Ronaldo. Rooney just takes it for me.

f) Favorite Game? The last 4 minutes at the Nou Camp, 26th May 99. The other 90 were awful!!

g) Favorite Kit? 92 away

h) Favorite United Team? which season 98-99 but also loved the 97-98 side!

2006-2007 team and season, with Saha supported by Rooney and Ronaldo. The first two months were sensational. We were up 4-0 against Fulham in 20 mins or so. We blew them away.

My story is ban-able.
So what made you become a United Fan? - i started watching Leeds when they got into the UCL, i saw them as a young mostly english team that had a really good youth, and i liked Alan Smith because was tenacious. When they went into administration, i knew they would be fecked because of the relegation + financial issues and the need to sell almost the entire squad, so i just followed Alan Smith to United. Never looked back.

a) When did you start supporting United? 1981-1982. I remember my dad watching highlights of the Manchester derby. Something in the name United or the red colour caught me and it has stayed ever since. I guess it's a stroke of luck I am not a city fan..
b) Which Player when you started supporting United was your Favorite? Mark Hughes. a friend of mine had the team's poster and the size of his thighs was something else. Also Robbo.
c) Which is your favorite player since supporting United until now? Maybe Giggs, he was there almost the whole time. Cantona. Loved Lee Sharpe too. Bruno is also getting there
d) Which Player is your favorite in the team now? Bruno, Rashford
e) Best Player that has played for United? So many - Robbo, Keane, Schmeichel
f) Favorite Game? must be the final of 1999. From gloom to sheer happiness within seconds. Also the 99 semis and Giggsey's goal (although we should never have been there bcs they wrongly disallowed a Scholes goal in the first game).
g) Favorite Kit? Any of the 90's with Cantona's collar. the green and gold one was also lovely
h) Favorite United Team? which season. Early 90's, when everything started ticking. Was a very exciting team to watch. the 2008 team was also exceptional.

Indoctrinated by my father.

First cup final I remember 76, I can laugh about it now as I've indoctrinated my two kids.

United was the one thing me and my father could talk about.

Poor sod got dementia now and has no idea what the fuuck is going on. I still go down my mam's to watch a game with him. He only recognises it fleetingly but its worth it for them few seconds.

Happy fuucker me.

UTFR
In regards to the bolded I've always found football is great in this capacity, it's at its best when shared and bringing people together.
I'm so sorry to hear about your father's condition, I think it's great you can still catch games with him and it's lovely that you still get those moments during the footie, even fleetingly.

I fell in love with United after the 1999 extra time win against Bayern in the champions league. I remember watching as a kid at my grand moms in Ghana, the whole country supported Bayern because of Samuel Osei Kuffour. That come back was just incredible, couldn't help but be a fan after.

Before the game I like Real Madrid and Ajax, after that game I have supported United only ever since.

My brothers were big into football before me but being canadian I stuck to north American sports until I got a job at my local pub. The owner was a united fan and most of the patrons as well. The rest is history.

Never really cared for football, no one in my family did. But I got into supporting Ireland at the 2002 world cup. After that I decided I'd support the first club team I saw playing on tv. It just so happened to be United losing away to Zalaegerszeg.

You started watching United because of Rooney at the 2006 world cup? Interesting! Euro 2004 was the tournament when he was really at it. Rooney was injured for most of the 2006 world cup and then got himself sent off vs Portugal.

a) When did you start supporting United?
1977, mainly after the FA cup final. We only got highlights in Scotland. I was 9 yo and all everyone was talking about were how amazing Liverpool were( ok they did win the European cup a few days later). I wanted Utd to wun because they were the underdogs. I also was fascinated by The Bobby Charlton story in the 1961 Roy of the Rovers Annual( It was my uncles that I read when I went to my Grans).
b) Which Player when you started supporting United was your Favorite?
It wasnt straight away but they signed Gordon Mcqueen a year later and he was Scottish. My first favourite player.
c) Which is your favorite player since supporting United until now?
King Eric. Nearly gave my first born Cantona as a middle name. Wife stopped in in the end but she did think about it. Honorable mentions to Giggs, Schmeichel and Keane.
d) Which Player is your favorite in the team now?
Martinez. Love everything about this guy
e) Best Player that has played for United?
Bobby Charlton
f) Favorite Game?
5-3 Utd Spurs. hilarious to watch. so enjoyable. The 2 champions league wins were great at the end but did not enjoy either game. Too nervous and we didnt play that well in both.
g) Favorite Kit?
My first Kit. The Utd away kit I got around 1977/78. It was white with 3 black stripes running down the left hand side. The crazy thing was, it was an Admiral kit not Adidas. Could not imagine that getting past the lawyers these days
h) Favorite United Team? which season.
Treble Team. Enough said.
Oh my..


Think is needs a come back

I guess it was the send-off drama got me there. I am asian and don't know why always atracted by Britian culture. Feel that there is something in common in Rooney and Andy Murray, don't know why.
