The VIP seats at Old Trafford are always suitable for spotting the stars, and Saturday Premier League meeting between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur is no exception, with legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady being the main attraction.

Brady, who recently retired after two seasons with Tampa Bay Buccaneers – owned by the Glazer family, which also owns Man United – tweeted shortly after the game kicked off that he was delighted to see the confrontation between Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Kane.
And, as has often been the case in a career in which he won seven Super Bowls, formerly the Bucs and New England Patriots the man made the right call with his pick.
Ronaldo opened the scoring with a long shot in the 12th minute, then scored again seven minutes before half-time. Spurs aborted both attempts with goals of their own, but Ronaldo excelled – as Brady himself often did in his career – to seal United’s victory after 81 minutes.
As for Kane, Confessed Brady fan persons expressed a desire to become an NFL player, managed to convert a penalty in the first half – so did Brady! – but it’s Ronaldo’s day.

After the game, Brady walked down to Old Trafford and catching up with the entire Man United squad, including the hero who scored the hat-trick. That leaves us with only one question: what are GOATs about?
Maybe Brady was telling Ronaldo about his own successes in England; in two wins against the Patriots at Wembley Stadium, he hit seven touchdown passes.
