YouTuber and internet personality Darren "IShowSpeed" was pictured on the sidelines of Old Trafford after the 3rd Round EFL Cup fixture between Manchester United and Aston Villa on November 10. The scoreline ended in favor of the Red Devils after they won 4-2 to proceed to the next round, where they will face Burnley.

IShowSpeed was among the attendees of the match. Yesterday, he stated that he went to Old Trafford to meet his long-time idol, Cristiano Ronaldo. Much to his dismay, the Portuguese striker was ill and was not included in the squad, meaning a possible meeting was off the table.

Darren, however, shared pictures of himself on the sidelines. Only notable and authorized individuals get to stand pitch-side on a matchday.

Although he could not meet his idol CR7, IShowSpeed was able to spend time with none other than former Manchester United footballer and legend Paddy Crerand.

Seasoned football fans will know Crerand is among the best players to grace the club's iconic pitch. The Scottish international played as a midfielder in the 1960s and represented the Red Devils over 400 times. Crerand went on to win the English League title twice, the FA Cup, and the much-coveted European Cup.

Naturally, IShowSpeed could not recognize him, which led to some hilarious conversations between the two, with Crerand calling Speed a "bloody ejit" after he mispronounced his name.

However, Darren eventually realized the importance of the occasion and said:

So far, there has been no indication that he has met any of the current Man United players. However, in the comments section of his Instagram post, players such as Alejandro Garnacho and Shola Shoretire, both young prodigies of the club, shared their reactions.
