While growing up in Crumlin, McGregor developed an interest in football. In fact, as a young man, he was even a member of the Lourdes Celtic Football Club. Given that he is such a high profile figure and a former player, folks began to wonder which pro football team the Irishman supported.

Some years back, when Conor Mcgregor claimed he was a 'red' in regards to his favorite club, it led to a great deal of speculation. It was unclear if the UFC star was showing his support for Liverpool or Manchester United, both of whom are commonly associated with the color.

However, a 2019 Tweet in which he praised Man Utd's Ole Gunnar Solskjær, made it clear where his allegiance lies. Moreover, a picture surfaced that showed a McGregor as a young boy wearing a Red Devils' shirt.
