Did IShowSpeed meet any players? (Image via Sportskeeda) YouTuber and internet personality Darren "" was pictured on the sidelines of Old Trafford after the 3rd Round EFL Cup fixture between and Aston Villa on November 10. The scoreline ended in favor of the Red Devils after they won 4-2 to proceed to the next round, where they will face Burnley. IShowSpeed was among the attendees of the match. Yesterday, he stated that he went to Old Trafford to meet his long-time idol, Cristiano Ronaldo. Much to his dismay, the Portuguese striker was ill and was not included in the squad, meaning a possible meeting was off the table. Darren, however, shared pictures of himself on the sidelines. Only notable and authorized individuals get to stand pitch-side on a matchday.

Although he could not meet his idol CR7, IShowSpeed was able to spend time with none other than former Manchester United footballer and legend Paddy Crerand. Seasoned football fans will know Crerand is among the best players to grace the club's iconic pitch. The Scottish international played as a midfielder in the 1960s and represented the Red Devils over 400 times. Crerand went on to win the English League title twice, the FA Cup, and the much-coveted European Cup.

However, Darren eventually realized the importance of the occasion and said: "God, I'm really touching somebody that played on this field, bro. Like, you're actually like, the first person I met that played (for United)."
