A Glorious Missed Replay at Old Trafford…
In the magical kingdom of Old Trafford, the Red Devils nearly stumbled into purgatory for 70 eternal minutes. But then, like a pizza delivery after three eternally empty stomachs, Mason Mount’s equalizer slammed in, igniting fireworks over Manchester. Forget the ref whistle; this was a symphony’s climax! Yet there’s a cloud to this silver lining—this near-perfect win missed being a viral tsunami. Like trying to catch a butterfly with a tractor, United’s pre-planned tifo spectacle got overshadowed by the fantastically accidental selfie saga that went quiet like a whisper in a library.
Poor Sir Jim and the Ineos crew missed the memo, still stranded in a time zone where victories were just victories! While the world spins at the speed of TikTok, they’re trying to dance the macarena in molasses. The digital geniuses at Old Trafford belatedly tried to jump on the Salah-like selfie train—and like a crash-dieting hamster on a wheel, they ran but went nowhere. Amad’s spontaneous photo-op could’ve gone viral faster than hot gossip at a garden party, but oh no, thus far, it’s been as silent as an armchair in a monastery.
The mystery phone shot—a fan’s gift or stealthy marketing stunt? Either way, X awaits the footage like a golden ticket for Willy Wonka’s factory! Alas, in copycat football land, it plays second fiddle to Salah’s Google-tastic snap. To the fans’ despair, their fingers are not only off the pulse, but maybe stuck in the 20th-century soup! Now United sits on the bench while cash registers clang elsewhere, showing once again they’re tuning in to yesterday’s radio. Yes, football is about goals but also about those Insta-clicks—or so they say in the 21st century playbook.
