The club was an integral part of his identity, and he took immense pride in being a Red.
As he once shared with us: “I’m from Manchester and a lifelong United supporter. It was destined to be so, as my entire family are Reds—my dad is a die-hard fan. He was part of the local club scene and even knew Besty.”
The music of The Roses has influenced matchday culture over the years, inspiring chants and fashion trends, a connection that Mani deeply appreciated. “I always wanted The Roses to be linked with United and the supporters’ terraces,” he said.
