Ex-United strikers Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole to visit S'pore for fan event
SINGAPORE – Manchester United’s legendary strike partners Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole are heading to Singapore as part of the club’s international fan event #ILOVEUNITED.
The event will be a three-week celebration of Manchester United fandom in Singapore, featuring locally tailored content across club channels, including a special edition of the UTD Podcast.
The Podcast will tell the story of the passion for United in Singapore, featuring first-team star Diogo Dalot alongside local fans, club ambassador Dwight Yorke and local radio host Justin Ang, a Red Devils fan for 30 years.
The campaign culminates with the live screening of United’s home EPL match against Aston Villa on April 30 at Southside Sentosa. Yorke and Cole will be on location to meet fans throughout the evening and share stories of their time at the club.
Fans will enjoy the full Manchester United matchday experience in the build-up to kick-off and get to participate in giveaways, photo opportunities, football challenges and interactive games, before a one-hour pre-match show. Attendees will also be featured in a special edition of MUTV’s Matchday Live.
