KCA University circulated an unofficial memo on Wednesday, October 21, urging students to reconsider supporting Manchester United and to avoid wearing the club’s jersey, framing the advice as a protective measure against unnecessary emotional damage.

The notice lists sleepless nights, weekend disappointments and Monday‑morning heartbreaks as the specific stresses that football losses can add to students’ already heavy academic workload.

It further points out that students are already coping with continuous assessment tests, assignments, graduation clearance and other deadlines, implying that football woes only compound these pressures.

The advisory arrives as Manchester United endures a poor run, including a 4‑1 loss to Como, a 2‑0 defeat to Atlético Madrid and consecutive 1‑1 Premier League draws against Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur.

The memo was posted alongside a promotional message for KCA University’s January 2027 intake, encouraging students to share the notice with peers.

In a further light‑hearted jab, the university suggested that students support its own sporting teams, claiming they perform better than the English Premier League club.

The joke extended to supporters of other English clubs, mentioning Chelsea and Arsenal in the accompanying social‑media message.
