What Happened To Manchester United Fan?

In recent years football support has substantially increased, especially in African countries.
However, African fans organize community centers in their locality to watch the games due to the limited availability of resources.
Fans of all teams are welcome in these centers, and they enjoy watching matches together and showing support to their players.
On Sunday, fans gathered at a video center to watch the Liverpool and Arsenal match, along with supporters of other clubs.
Arsenal was leading the game, but Mohammad Salah scored a late equalizer for Liverpool, and the teams ended in a draw.
While celebrating the equalizer of Salah, as reported, Okello present at the video hall threw some popcorn at Onan.
