Holding Home Match, Manchester United Presents 40,000 Virtual Audience

DBasia.news – Manchester United will play home games against Sheffield United in the 2019-2020 Premiere League at Old Trafford on Thursday (6/25). In the home match, The Red Devils will present 40 thousand virtual spectators during the match.

This virtual audience took the form of photos of their supporters from around 190 countries. This will make Old Trafford look crowded as usual.

In addition, banners with red-white-black colors that upmen become the great colors of Manchester United will also be stretched at Old Trafford. This banner is also filled with several messages in the form of writing.

One of the messages, ‘United for the Heroes’, is aimed at medical workers who struggle hard during the pandemic. Another message reads “football is nothing without fans” for supporters.

“We hope the supporter mosaic will inspire the team as a reminder that there are hundreds of millions of people who support them from home,” Manchester United CEO Ed Woodward told the club’s official website.

“Until the time comes, the players will try to maintain a throbbing spirit of victory against Manchester City which is the last time together with supporters before the competition stops.”

Manchester United is arguably the most serious Premier League club to keep the stadium festive during the pandemic. A similar thing is done by several clubs in different competitions.

The support of this virtual supporter will certainly motivate Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team to be motivated to win. They really can’t lose any more points to keep the chance of finishing in the top four.
