Ole Gunnar Solskjær set for first-ever India visit in December

Former Manchester United senior men’s team player and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær is all set for his maiden visit to India. Tilak Gaurang Shah, founder of Ace of Pubs and a Manchester United fan, will be hosting a three-city tour featuring the 50-year-old from December 15 to 17. 

Ace of Pubs is an Indian quizzing company which conducts over 200 events per month across India and the UAE. The bootstrapped startup company specialises in experiential events with a strong football fan network across all major cities in India and in Dubai. 

Manchester United fans in India will get live glimpses of the Norwegian as he lands in Bengaluru—the first city of his tour—on December 15.

During his visit, Solskjær will hold gala dinners in Bengaluru, Mumbai and New Delhi. Club ITC, ITC Hotels and Johnnie Walker have pledged their support as hospitality and celebration partners, while Ace of Trades has come on board as the corporate engagement partner.

BookMyShow, PayTM Insider and Zomato Live will jointly facilitate ticket sales, with 12th Man Brewing serving as the gameday partner in Mumbai.

Expressing his excitement for the upcoming tour, Solskjær said: 

“I have heard a lot about Manchester United fans in India from Tilak and I simply had to experience the fandom myself. I’m thrilled to join the fans in Bengaluru, Mumbai and Delhi and looking forward to an unforgettable time. This marks my first visit to the beautiful country, and I can’t wait to be here. Best wishes and see you soon!” 

Tilak Gaurang Shah, Founder of Ace of Pubs, said:

I have been an ardent Manchester United fan for more than two decades now and visit Old Trafford once every quarter for a regular dose of footballing entertainment. After talking to Ole about United’s popularity in India, I knew his network and expertise could act as a catalyst in redefining football back home. Ace of Pubs aspires to infuse the Old Trafford fervour in India. The tour will start from Bengaluru followed by Mumbai and Delhi on December 16 and 17 respectively. This will be a momentous occasion not only for Manchester United supporters but also all football fans in India.
