AIG soccer connection
The connection is Man-U is the team that produced David Beckham and AIG is their principal investor. So Man-U is very concerned. (And some of that concern has been showing up online, like at Man-U fan message boards?) Yes, fans have been expressing a lot of concern, in the U.S. economy and in the American owners of Man-U. We’ve been through far worse though.
