Yuvraj Singh is known as a Manchester United fan. Former Indian all-rounder never hides his excitement or disappointment whenever his favourite football club performs well or not. The 2011 World Cup winner usually takes to Twitter to let his fans know how he feels after almost every Manchester United fixture in the Premier League. Same was the case after Manchester United’s latest 1-0 defeat which came at the hands of Newcastle United.

Kevin Pietersen trolls Yuvraj Singh

Yuvraj once again took to Twitter with words of encouragement for his favourite Premier League side. His tweet, however, was responded to in a hilarious manner by former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen. Kevin and Yuvi are known to be good friends since their playing days, but the two do not share the same interest and enthusiasm when it comes to football. Pietersen, who is a Chelsea fan, immediately took to Twitter to poke fun at his old friend’s tweet. The two former cricketers often get involved in such hilarious banter on social media while the fans of the two have their own fun by posting funny replies to their posts.

Matthew Longstaff’s goal in the 72nd minute of the match saw Manchester United lose by a slender 0-1 margin to Newcastle at St James' Park. Their latest defeat slipped them to 12th spot in the current standings as Manchester United have won only 2 and lost 3 of their fixtures this season. Three of their matches ended in draws and the famous football club has recorded only 9 points from their 8 outings in the tournament. Manchester United will now face table-toppers Liverpool in a crucial fixture on October 20. The match is scheduled to be played at Old Trafford.
