A man in Kenya has reportedly jumped to his death after Manchester United suffered a second home defeat in a row in a loss to Newcastle United on Saturday night.

Eyewitness accounts claim that John Macharia, 28, stated that he could not stand by and see the team lose twice in a row at home, before jumping from the window of his apartment in Nairobi.

Pretty reprehensible site a lot of the time. Too much of the catering for your lowest common denominator.
