Kim Jong-Un Wants Every Manchester United Game Shown on Korean TV

The least surprising element of this story: a United fan who lives outside of Manchester.

Kim Jong-Un is probably the world's only Manchester United fan who can successfully demand that every match be shown on state television.

As part of a revamp for North Korea's state-owned TV broadcaster, Korean Central Television, the dictator has requested for every Manchester United fixture to be shown live. Other new programs in the work include 'how to' guides on playing golf and riding a horse. 

We shouldn't be surprised.

But blanket coverage of Louis Van Gaal's struggling side may not last too long. According to the Daily Mirror, games will be shown via illegal streams and we all know how much the Premier League hates them. Maybe Kim Jong-Un will have to take out a Sky Sports subscription instead.
