[Saba Sports News] Snooker legend Ding Junhui
recently shared a photo of himself in Manchester, England, indicating that he
was there to support his favorite team, Manchester United, and witness the
highly anticipated match against Tottenham Hotspur. In the photo, Ding Junhui
can be seen holding a No. 7 jersey with his name on it, showing his support for
Manchester United. In the accompanying caption, he wrote, “7. The 7 of
147, the 7th shot in his career.” The game between Manchester United and
Tottenham ended in a 2-2 draw. Tottenham, with only one win in the last six
rounds, are currently ranked 5th in the standings, while Manchester United sit
in 7th place. It is well-known that Ding Junhui is a devoted fan of Manchester
United. Apart from his remarkable achievements in snooker, Ding Junhui is also
an enthusiastic football fan. He became a fan of Manchester United in 2008 when
he was captivated by the skills of Cristiano Ronaldo, who was then a player for
Manchester United. Cristiano Ronaldo, who is also Ding Junhui’s idol, impressed
him with his self-discipline, which deeply resonated with Ding Junhui.
