Maybe Not!!!
I don't see your point on birth and geography resulting in Morrissey supporting Man Utd. As Morrissey was brought up actually in Manchester, then surely there is less chance of him supporting Man Utd than if he was born or raised in Southampton, Oxford, Brazil, Australia etc. Or maybe I'm wrong and some Man Utd fans do come from Manchester! Good luck KK.
