A young Manchester United fan from Dublin decides to follow his passion and emigrate to Manchester.
Ray Mooney from Knocklyon in Dublin is packing his bags to live and work in Manchester the city of the football team he supports. His first visit to Old Trafford was at the age of 12 and Ray Mooney says that since then he has wanted to live in Manchester. Even now he feels he has to get to Manchester to see the Red Devils at least once a month.
It is an obsession obviously.
A barman by trade, Ray Mooney has lined up a job in a pub in Manchester, just two miles from Old Trafford.
His favourite Manchester United players are Eric Cantona, who he admires for sticking by the club and Nicky Butt who expects to play for England.
