Fan-testy

The English Premier League has begun and I’m dizzy with delight. I’m a big Manchester United fan. Only, I’m not from England; my country, India, last qualified for the World Cup in 1950; and even the Indian beach football side struggled in the Beach Football World Cup qualifiers held last week in Dubai.
The question that haunts me every time I see Sir Alex Ferguson chomping away on gum at Old Trafford, returned - am I really a Man U fan, or, just a poser?
Neither, I’ve rationalised. I’m victim, or beneficiary, depending the point of view, of globalisation.
