After winning the Open Championship in July,
Rory McIlroy announced to the crowd at Royal Liverpool that he appreciated the kindness of the fans, even though he was a supporter of Manchester United of the English Premier League.
On Saturday, it's safe to say he got a warmer reception at Old Trafford.

And after meeting some legendary names at the home of Man United, McIlroy got into a comical Twitter back-and-forth with Arsenal fan and fellow Ryder Cupper
Ian Poulter.

August 16, 2014Yes them red socks. I thought Van Gaal was going to ask you to take off that suit and help your boys out. They needed it.
