Man Utd 'make AngryGinge plans' despite fierce Luke Littler backlash from fans - The Mirror

Manchester United are planning to honour one of their biggest celebrity fans in AngryGinge after the 24-year-old found success on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

Manchester United are ready to celebrate super fan AngryGinge's success in the jungle at an upcoming match at Old Trafford. United are said to be 'ready to roll out the red carpet' for the winner of reality show I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! by hosting him at Old Trafford.

The social media superstar and streamer made his name, in part, via his support of the Red Devils and made a trademark shout of 'Yanited' as his profile grew. The Salford-born jungle king, real name Morgan Burtwistle, beat off competition from Eastenders actor Shona McGarty and presenter Tom Read Wilson in the I'm A Celeb final.

Mail Online report that United are keen to team up with Ginge, who flew back to Manchester on Monday, by inviting him to an upcoming home match. They reportedly want to give him the chance to be celebrated for his reality show win at the Theatre of Dreams.

The 24-year-old did not always expect to get so far in the jungle and almost quit soon after arriving. He said: "I was debating on the very first day, and I'd only been in there for a couple of hours.

"It was late when I'd got in, and I was expecting a steak but it was one steak between four of us, and that was a shock. That was the eye opener. I think, forget the snakes around the head.

"And then it was just getting later and later, and our other camp mates hadn't joined us yet, and I was just sat there thinking, ‘this is going to be tough. It's going to be really tough."

United risk a backlash by handing AngryGinge a place in the crowd after darts sensation Luke Littler was spotted in the away end at Wolves.

It has caused controversy at a time when United are clamping down on season-ticket holders passing on tickets.

Applications often outnumber available tickets by four to one claim Mail Online. United supporters must also have had a season ticket for at least four years before they can apply for away games. Littler does not meet the criteria.

United kit manufacturer Adidas is said to have gifted the tickets for Littler and his friends. The 18-year-old world darts champion had posted on Instagram asking for ‘three tickets’ less than 24 hours before the game.

"Happy to pay over face value," he added.
