Manchester United broke Liverpool’s heart with their late-minute goal to secure a 2-1 victory at the Anfield stadium…

Nigerian Afrobeats star Adekunle Almoruf Kosoko, known professionally as Adekunle Gold, has sparked hilarious reactions on social media, Soccernet.ng reports. 

His comment comes after Manchester United’s back-to-back victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, which he linked to the release of his latest album, Fuji.

The award-winning singer took to his official X (formerly Twitter) page on Sunday evening after Manchester United’s dramatic 2-1 victory over Liverpool at Anfield and wrote:

“Since FUJI drop, Man Utd don dey play better. Claarrkk itt.”
