For how long have you been following United?
And do you play football? If so, in which position(s)?
Karthik Ramesh
I’ve been following United since they made news in 1999 after their treble. I started loving their game.
Yes of course, I’ve been playing football for a long time now, and I am proud to have had a chance to represent a state C Division club REBELS F C.
I started as a striker but a sudden interest made me become a goalkeeper
Footieculture
From striker to goalkeeper? That must have been a huge change!
How did you adapt to the change?
And what are your predictions for Manchester United this season?
And for the Premier League as well. Where do you think United will be placed come end of season, and who do you think will win the League?
Karthik Ramesh
Well, striker to goalkeeper was quite interesting. My team needed a goalkeeper when a freak injury kept the first choice keeper out. I love the game and I just decided to go for it.
United are experiencing a huge change this season, just hoping like any other United fan would, that we finish top 4.
I hope united get more titles under David Moyes! For the Premier League, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City are playing amazing football.
We can never say how this season is going to turn out. City have a massive team. I think they will win the Premier League eventually.
Footieculture
Ahhh, yes. The change in management has caused United to rebuild from the bottom up! City are playing wonderful football and as you said, they have a massive team! Good selection, Karthik.
We are almost done here, so lets turn our attention to the big event, which is the World Cup! Which is your favourite international team, and which team do you think will win the World Cup this summer?
Karthik Ramesh
I do not have a favorite International team, I just support the team that plays well. I guess Brazil have the most skillful players in the world. Their team chemistry is as good as that of Spain
I’m going to have to go with Brazil to win.
Footieculture
So Brazil it is then!
We wish you all the best, Karthik! Thank you for your time!
And we hope you continue your support towards Footieculture!
Thank you!
