'I still haven't forgiven Maguire' - Davido shares how Man Utd defender spoiled Ronaldo's plans

Nigerian music superstar Davido has shared a lighthearted but passionate reflection on his love for football, recounting a memorable experience at Manchester United’s Old Trafford stadium that left a lasting impression on him — and not for the best reason.

Taking to social media, the Afrobeats icon wrote: "Football ehn fit give person BP ... I remember when CR7 personally invite me come watch match for Old Trafford then couple years ago ... 

"He don book dinner ALL! Party chillin etc.... Nah so dem go lose match.. BABA VEX GO HOUSE.. since that day I still never forgive Maguire.”

The anecdote offers a rare glimpse into Davido’s friendship with global football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, who, during his second stint at Manchester United, invited the Nigerian singer to witness a live match in Manchester. 

According to Davido, Ronaldo had prepared an evening of celebrations following the game, including dinner and a party. 

However, Manchester United’s poor performance — which Davido partly blamed on defender Harry Maguire — led to a disappointing night and an early end to the plans.

While delivered in jest, Davido’s comment reflects the emotional highs and lows football fans endure, regardless of their celebrity status. 

His story adds to the long-running online banter surrounding Manchester United’s performances in recent years, and highlights how even A-list entertainers are not immune to the frustrations of following their favorite teams.
