"I usually put out predictions but I never go in so specifically, but this time I don't know why," he said.
"Everything for the past few days has been absolute crazy," he told SAYS.
"(I did) a live radio interview with BBC last night, and I just finished a shoot with Astro for a chat session with (Real Madrid legend) Fernando Morientes," he added.
"It's been amazing, I'll never forget this moment ever," Timmy said.
The 26-year-old told SAYS that he has been a Manchester United fan for as long as he could remember
"In 1999 my uncle bought me a poster of Manchester United winning the Champions League, and since then I've always been a huge fan," Timmy said.
"I love Manchester United because watching them play and win, I've never experienced any feeling like it – the adrenaline, sadness, and joy all mashed up together while watching them throughout the years," he added.
