Manchester United. Dario. Sherbrooke/Regent, Montreal, 2012
Why United? I asked.
“I started supporting Manchester United because of Rooney, but now I realize every Manchester United player is as important as him, and the manager is outstanding.”
Dario, even if only 15, takes football seriously. After a short conversation I knew he is a fan for life. He was born in Zagreb, Croatia but is growing up in Brossard, near Montreal. There, he also plays soccer in a Brossard junior team, AA level. All these kids falling for Man United lately, but who can blame them considering the success the club’s had in the last couple of decades. Dario’s father, who is a doctor of chemical engineering and mostly does what doctors of chemicals engineering do (teaching and research), doesn’t follow football as much but follows on his son’s interests. He was kind enough to join Dario for a picture.

Manchester United. Kiernan. West Hill/Biermans, Montreal, 2011
Why Man United? I asked.
“I like Rooney.”
I might not like Rooney but I understand how a kid growing up in the last decade would start supporting Man United, considering all the success the club has had. Kiernan plays hockey, and plays it well, but he also follows soccer. I would never swap my shirt with him but I would definitely trade my hair for his.

Manchester United. Corey. Saint-Denis/Émery, Montreal 2011
Why Man United? I asked.
“I studied in England and a local friend was a supporter so I got into it as well.”
Finally a day when I had time to purposely hit the streets in search for the people in their jerseys. It was a beautiful day, perfect for showing the colors of one’s favourite team. But they were nowhere to be found. More than two hours into my walk, as the frustration was building up, finally I met the first, and the only, footballist of the day. Corey is from San Diego and only visiting Montreal. While studying in England a friend worked on his footballing innocence and got him into the Manchester United colors. Can’t blame him really.
