Adekunle Gold cheekily takes credit for Manchester United’s form revival after beating Liverpool

Manchester United broke Liverpool's heart with their late-minute goal to secure a 2-1 victory at the Anfield stadium…

Nigerian Afrobeats star Adekunle Almoruf Kosoko, known professionally as Adekunle Gold, has sparked hilarious reactions on social media, Soccernet.ng reports. 

His comment comes after Manchester United's back-to-back victories against Sunderland and Liverpool, which he linked to the release of his latest album, Fuji.

The award-winning singer took to his official X (formerly Twitter) page on Sunday evening after Manchester United’s dramatic 2-1 victory over Liverpool at Anfield and wrote:

“Since FUJI drop, Man Utd don dey play better. Claarrkk itt.”

Since FUJI drop, Man Utd don dey play better. Claarrkk itt.

United had earlier taken the lead through Bryan Mbeumo’s first-minute strike before Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo equalised in the 78th minute.

The win made it Manchester United’s second straight Premier League victory under manager Ruben Amorim, and the result has been widely celebrated among the club’s fans across the globe, including Adekunle Gold, who has been a long-time Red Devils supporter.

When Adekunle Gold Released his FUJI Album

The FUJI crooner, who released his sixth studio album earlier this month, appeared to suggest that his music had brought the team good fortune.

Adekunle Gold’s FUJI album—released on 3 October 2025—has been praised as a cultural masterpiece where he blends traditional Yoruba Fuji rhythms with contemporary Afrobeats.

The project has further firmed Adekunle Gold’s reputation for innovation in the music industry.

Meanwhile, his tongue-in-cheek post adds to the growing excitement among Manchester United supporters, many of whom see the victory over Liverpool as a turning point in their season.
