Monks visit Manchester United
''They were, one told me when I enquired, Tibetan Buddhist monks from the Himalayan village of Ladakh in India. 'We know all about United,' added my man. 'We see them on TV.'''
A group of monks visited Manchester United's stadium.
The spiritualist group spent an hour at Old Trafford in Manchester, north-western England, where they shopped for club merchandise and even enjoyed an ice cream, reports The Mirror newspaper.
It isn't the first time that a group of monks has visited the ground.
Journalist Ian Ridley notes in his book 'A Golden Sky: How 20 Years of the Premier League Has Changed Football Forever' that he once found a group of the Tibetan Buddhists who claimed to be big fans of the club.
He wrote: ''They were, one told me when I enquired, Tibetan Buddhist monks from the Himalayan village of Ladakh in India. 'We know all about United,' added my man. 'We see them on TV.'''
