A man identified as Yusuf Kalange, reportedly had a stroke last weekend after watching the English Premier league game between rivals, Manchester United and Arsenal. It was also reported, he died after the stroke.

He hailed from Iganga town in Uganda and was a supporter of EPL football club, Liverpool.

According to a report by Daily Mirror, the Liverpool fan, who was surprisingly rooting for a Manchester United win, struggled to breathe when Olivier Giroud’s 89th-minute equaliser earned Arsenal a point, denying the red devils the much-needed win.

Kalange’s death has been confirmed by his son, Yakuti Kalange, who said his 67-year-old father, died of stroke this morning at Nsambya hospital in the country. A relative that was watching the football match with the victim on Saturday last week, in a makeshift hall revealed that Kalange was rooting for Manchester United win despite the rivalry that existed between his club, Liverpool and the Manchester United.
