One Manchester United fan is charging tourists £20 to take them to the pub with him before a game at Old Trafford and “show you where we go after” on a website that lets visitors “book unique football experiences” with local supporters.

Loved hosting a delegation from Beijing for a match for @partner_fan this yr. Keep an eye on @rioferdy5 for info pic.twitter.com/9HZN90XBvY

Superfan Stephen Howson promises on the Partner Fan website:

If you want the authentic matchday experience I can provide that. We’ll go to the pub pre-game and sing songs and also show you where we go after a match, too.

Howson himself indeed appears to also form part of the attraction, as one five-star reviewer on the apparently yet to launch website exclaims:

I’ve always dreamed of meeting him in person.

Claiming there were a “lot of misconceptions about Partner Fan”, Howson released a statement on Saturday entitled “Alright?”, in which he insists:

No one is forced to take on what’s being offered so no one is being taken advantage of.

Among the supporter’s other offerings are a £20 trip to the National Football Museum, for which admission is free; and the “chance to meet a Manchester United legend”, “such as Norman Whiteside or Bryan Robson”, that was listed for £1000 but has since been removed.

@Juan_8_ I know him, just nothing about what he's offering. As you know, it costs no more than £50 to have lunch with us on a boat! 😂
