Manchester United finished the season with a bang. In the FA Cup final, they defeated their local rival Manchester City 2-1. Goals were scored by Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo, and the entire team returned with the trophy from Wembley Stadium in London.
The Old Trafford club is implementing a cost-saving plan. Before the final, there was a lot of buzz about Manchester United's decision not to fund tickets and travel for the players' partners. The club staff welcomed this decision, but they were not pleased with free trips for the WAGs.
Meanwhile, Manchester United staff had to accept that they were not invited to the party after the FA Cup final. A more intimate celebration was chosen, and everything probably would have gone without scandal if it hadn’t been for the presence of IShowSpeed, the popular YouTuber.
British daily "Mail Sport" reported that Manchester United staff were angry and frustrated.
The details of the YouTuber's presence are not fully clear. He might have received an invitation from the club or one of the players, or he could have simply crashed the party. Regardless, he partied with the FA Cup winners, wearing a Manchester United jersey and cap.
Darren Watkins Jr. likes to stir things up in the soccer community. During the Champions League semifinal in April, he celebrated Real Madrid's victory while surrounded by Manchester City fans. They told him to sit down and end the live broadcast.
