UNITED LIVE JAKARTA

Jakarta ready for UNITED:LIVE

United Army is one of the Reds' biggest fan clubs in Indonesia, numbering 25,000 

members and over 100,000 followers on Twitter. We chatted with its president, Arie 

Best, about the upcoming UNITED:LIVE fan party in Jakarta…

How much are you looking forward to the event?

It’s amazing. The fans here can’t wait. Even though it’s not the first team, the attendance of 

two ex-players [Denis Irwin and Louis Saha] will make everyone here happy. We could have 

several thousand fans at the event.

What are your memories of the previous fan parties in Jakarta?

The last three events here gave us amazing memories. Watching the game on a big screen 

with legends and thousands of fans was unforgettable.

Are you looking forward to seeing Irwin and Saha?

Definitely. In his time, Denis was the best left-back around and a great penalty taker, while 

Louis was a terrific striker. It would be a dream come true to be able to meet them.

When was your club launched and how many members do you have?

United Army was established in 2009 and we have 25,000 members across the country, a 

figure that gets bigger each year. We watch every game together and several of our

 members make the trip to Old Trafford to watch a game every year.

When and why did you first start supporting United?

In 1996, when Eric Cantona scored the winner in the FA Cup final against Liverpool. His 

leadership and the spirit of the team made me fall in love with United.

What are your favourite United memories?

Beating Chelsea in the 2008 Champions League final, which also happened to be my 31st

 birthday. What a present! Also, meeting Sir Alex Ferguson and waving an Indonesian flag 

at Old Trafford when I first visited in 2006. I've seen about 20 matches live since then.
