Adekunle Gold Jokes He’s the Secret Behind Manchester United’s Epic Comeback Victory Over Liverpool!

In a nail-biting conclusion at Anfield, Manchester United emerged victorious with a 2-1 scoreline against Liverpool, thanks to a last-gasp goal that sealed the match…

Adekunle Almoruf Kosoko, widely recognized as Adekunle Gold, the celebrated Nigerian Afrobeats star, has sparked a wave of amusement across social media, as reported by Soccernet.ng.

The musician’s witty comment came on the heels of Manchester United’s back-to-back victories over Sunderland and Liverpool, which he humorously credited to the release of his latest album, Fuji.

Shortly after United’s dramatic win at Anfield on Sunday night, Adekunle Gold took to his official X (formerly Twitter) handle to post:

“Ever since FUJI dropped, Man Utd’s game has improved. Claarrkk itt.”
