Chapter 118: Shocking News IV
Manchester United.
A name that carried weight.
If you watched football, chances were, you knew Manchester United. Now at 2020, football had four billion fans in a world of 7.8 billion people—more than half the planet followed the sport. It had truly earned its name: "The World’s Sport."
And in a world like ours, at least half of those people had heard of Manchester United. It was a club synonymous with football itself, a name etched in history, a club with hundreds of millions of fans, a club that once dominated the sport under the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson.
But those glory days felt like a distant memory.
The club was now a shadow of what it once was, a sleeping giant trying to find its way back to the top. Year after year, manager after manager, disappointment after disappointment. And now, on this day—August 16, 2020—the club had finally reached yet another turning point.
After weeks of speculation, debates, and heated discussions in the manchester united boardroom, the inevitable had happened.
Manchester United had sacked their head coach.
The news hit like a lightning bolt through the footballing universe.
Everywhere you turned, people were talking about it. Pundits, former players, rival fans, journalists, YouTubers, Twitter fan accounts—every single corner of the internet was engulfed in this breaking news.
And in the center of that storm, among the countless people reacting to the announcement, two individuals were feeling the weight of the moment more than most.
