What it's like to be a Manchester United fan in Brazil.
Yeah! You did read right!
The Manchester United Football Club, or, as they're also known, the "Red Devils", is one of the most popular football clubs in the world! There are a lot of Red Devils fans here in Caipirinha country, but it's also the football country, by the way!
For sure, like almost everyone here, we do have our football teams since we were born. Though, in this case, it's more than just to be a fan, it's an identity. If you didin't get it, I'll explain to you: here in Brazil, I'm "Cruzeirense", what is much more than just "be a Cruzeiro's supporter". Sounds like a patriotism.
Anyway, that doesn't restrain you from cheering for a football club outside of Brazil.
So, I've been a ManUtd fan for a while. To be more specific, since 2008, when they won the UEFA Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup. I can even remember the squad: CR7, Tevez, Park, Giggs, Ferdinand, Van Der Sar, Evra, Carrick, Vidic, Anderson and the most talented player in the world: Wayne Rooney. What a team! What an era! The rein of the Sir Alex Ferguson!
Who knows, one day, I might go to Old Trafford to see the greatest football club in the world, the Red Devils.
Tell me, what football club do you support?
Cheers!

Some explanations
1. We have the word 'land' in English but it is not interchangeable with 'country.'
2. 'For' is used for a period of time e.g. We have been friends for a long time.
'Since' is a point in time in the past which continues until now e.g. I have been learning English for 10 years or I have been a Manchester United fan since I was 15.
