New Delhi(Agencies): Sports behind
closed doors has been a matter of huge debate. But sportspersons across the
world agree that in the current scenario, it is best to keep fans away from the
stadiums. And with the Premier League returning to action, former England
batsman and Chelsea supporter Kevin Pietersen rued the no fans situation. But
former India batsman Yuvraj Singh jumped in to have some fun and show his
support for Manchester United.
Taking to Twitter, KP wrote: "Football with no
fans." Yuvraj replied: "Fans on the ground ! Fans at home doesn't
matter bud, we always support the best club in the world @ManUtd."
Earlier in the week, Yuvraj had spoken on the same with
Manchester United player Marcus Rashford. "I just want to tell Marcus
that, about fans not being there in the stadium, fans are always behind
you," said Yuvraj on the interaction that was arranged by Sony Network for
their show Pit Stop on its Facebook page.
"Whether in the stadium or at home, we always have your
back." Yuvraj asked Rashford about the pressure he may have had to deal
with when he was taking that penalty and the latter said that dealing with
pressure is ingrained in a United player from the times they are playing
underage football.
"I've seen right from the time I was a kid that every
team that you face want to beat Man United," said Rashford. "We've
been dealing with pressure from that age. I remember when I first made my
debut, it gets to a stage where you don't feel the pressure and you just want
to enjoy it.
"When you're happy you always play your best football.
It's nothing technical, it's just the feeling you get and I've always played my
best when I'm playing in that situation. The pressure is not from the game, it
comes from yourself."
