Popular Nollywood actress, Victoria Inyama, said her estranged husband, Godwin Okrim always transfers his aggression to her whenever the football club he supports, Manchester United perform poorly.
The thespian said he would always beat anytime the Red Devils lost a match.
Speaking in an interview with Chude Jideonwo, Inyama said she is still dealing with the trauma to date as she not only hates the club, but anytime she watches them lose a match, she remembers the beaten she used to suffer at the hands of her ex-husband.
She said, “I hate Man Utd, ehn. The number of beatings wey dem beat me because Man United lose match ehn.
“Even up to today when there is a football match and Man U loses, I am like Thank God, today would have been a beating day. Even my son knows and would be laughing.”
Manchester United, commonly known as Man Utd, is one of the most iconic football clubs in the world, boasting a massive global fanbase. With a rich history of Premier League titles, Champions League triumphs, and legendary players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, and Sir Bobby Charlton, the club has cemented its place in football lore.
For many fans, supporting Man Utd is more than just a hobby, it’s a way of life. However, this deep passion for the Red Devils can sometimes spill over into personal relationships, particularly with spouses, as football fandom often takes center stage at home.
Football, especially in the context of Man Utd, is serious business for its supporters. Fans religiously follow match schedules, transfer news, and player stats, with games against rivals like Manchester City or Liverpool sparking intense emotions.
The Premier League 2025 season, as of March 10, 2025, has only heightened this fervor, with Erik ten Hag’s squad aiming to reclaim past glory.
For many, watching Man Utd live at Old Trafford or on TV is non-negotiable, often leading to tense moments with wives who may not share the same enthusiasm. This dedication can strain relationships, as fans prioritize pre-match rituals, post-game debates, or even late-night X discussions about tactics over quality time with their partners.
Take, for instance, the classic scenario: a Saturday afternoon clash coincides with a planned family event. A die-hard Man Utd fan might refuse to miss the game, sparking arguments with their wife over misplaced priorities.
Studies show football fandom can influence mental health and social dynamics, with some wives feeling neglected as their husbands chant “Glory Glory Man United” while glued to the screen.
The rise of online football communities on platforms like X has amplified this, as fans dissect every goal, VAR decision, or Rashford performance, leaving little room for domestic harmony.
Yet, it’s not all doom and gloom. Some couples find balance, wives join in the football fever, or fans learn to compromise. Still, the passion for Man Utd remains a powerful force, occasionally testing the patience of even the most understanding spouse.
