The heartbreaking development was shared by user @eddie_wrt on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter). The post, which quickly gained traction, detailed how the disappointed rider took drastic steps in response to the match outcome.
According to the post, the tricycle rider, a staunch supporter of Manchester United, had wagered his precious fuel money on the club, expecting a victorious night in the final. However, the team’s loss not only crushed his expectations but also left him financially stranded.

The emotional outburst has stirred mixed reactions from fans and users online. While some sympathised with the rider’s frustration, others mocked his decision or claimed they had done even worse in response to Manchester United's performance.
