LeBron James shuts down Manchester United fan with brilliant comment
LeBron James was a major reason why Liverpool started a partnership with Nike and his relationship with our club is on both a business and personal level.
This has been on show once again with a video that has been shared on Instagram by an American basketball reporter.
Mike Trudell was attempting to speak with the LA Lakers player but before he could ask a question, the sporting icon spotted the reporter was wearing a Manchester United jacket.
The 40-year-old couldn’t help but say: “That’s a horrible jacket by the way, oh my…
“Oh my god, that is a horrible jacket!”
It was all said in good humour but it’s great to see that the basketball player represents our club at all times, especially given that he is a minority stake holder in the Reds.
LeBron James put the Manchester United fan in his place
The athlete has had a public tie with our club since 2011 and the large prices charged for his recent clothing collaboration shows why he has such a positive relationship with FSG.
Having such a popular figure have a interest with us has many obvious perks, even Curtis Jones has benefited from being up close to LeBron.
He’s proven to be a good ambassador too and even though our switch to Adidas will likely mean no more merchandise, there’s still much to get from the American in the coming years – even if it is just putting Manchester United fans down!
