Stadium Employee Dismissed for Wearing Controversial T-shirt by Irate Fans
Manchester City vs. Manchester United: T-Shirt Incident and Erling Haaland's Name Change
In the heat of the 4th round of the English Championship on September 14, 2022, an unusual incident took place at the Etihad Stadium during the game between Manchester City and Manchester United. A staff member, identified as a bartender, was spotted wearing a black 'Manchester United' t-shirt from the 2018/19 season. The t-shirt was considered inappropriate by City fans due to its association with their rivals, and a photo of the staff member serving a pint of beer in the shirt circulated on social media, causing outrage among them.
The incident added fuel to the already intense rivalry between the two teams. The club and stadium responded quickly, thanking fans for the alert and announcing that the employee had been dismissed. No credible information from the search results indicates that any person was dismissed after the match due to the controversial T-shirt.
Meanwhile, Erling Haaland, a striker for Manchester City, has made headlines for a different reason. The Manchester Evening News reported that Haaland, who joined Manchester City in the summer of 2022, has decided to represent his national team with a double-barrelled surname. For Norway national team matches, his jersey will display 'Braut Haaland' instead of the usual 'Haaland'. However, it's important to note that this change in surname does not apply to his representation for Manchester City in club matches.
Since joining Manchester City, Haaland has been a key player in the team's success. He has won the English Championship twice, the country's Cup, Super Cup, Champions League, and UEFA Super Cup. Despite the incident and the ongoing rivalry between the two Manchester teams, it seems that Haaland is settling well into his new role at the club.
The emotions among English fans only subsided after the club took appropriate action, and the incident is now a footnote in the history of the intense rivalry between Manchester City and Manchester United.
