YOU THOUGHT PASTOR JERRY EZE'S REVIVAL AT YOUR STADIUM WOULD MAKE YOU START WINNING MATCHES" - RUFAI OSENI MOCKS MANCHESTER UNITED FANS

Nigerian broadcaster Rufai Oseni has taken a swipe at Manchester United supporters, joking about whether Pastor Jerry Eze’s prayer programme at Old Trafford would improve the club’s results.

“You thought Pastor Jerry Eze’s revival at your stadium would make you start winning matches,” Oseni said in the remark attributed to him.

His comment draws on the football banter surrounding the prayer gathering at Manchester United’s home ground.

Eze, founder of Streams of Joy International, led the NSPPD UK Prayer Conference at Old Trafford, where thousands of worshippers gathered for prayer and worship.

The unusual setting prompted jokes from football followers, with some playfully linking the event to hopes of better performances from United.

Oseni’s remark follows that theme, teasing supporters about expectations of a turnaround on the pitch.

However, the specific match or result that prompted his comment was not established. There was also no verified response from Eze or Manchester United in the information reviewed.

The prayer conference was a religious gathering; suggestions that it would change football results belong to the surrounding fan banter.
