Three-year-old Lilly Rae Doyle is a huge Manchester United fan
She loves United so much so that she doesn't have any favourite player, because she "loves them all the same"
Lilly Rae doesn’t have a favourite United player as she ‘loves them all the same’ and unsurprisingly lists her Manchester United shirt as her favourite item of clothing.
So when she found out her new school uniform was blue, she was devastated...
The reason why? Manchester City, the arch rivals of Manchester United traditionally wears blue

Image via dailymail.co.ukThe video shows the first time Lilly tried on the uniform and she can be seen repeatedly tugging on the Royal blue cardigan and crying “I don’t like blue, I want to get if off”. Faye, 28, a bank worker, from Benchill, Wythenshawe, said she wasn’t surprised by her daughter’s reaction. She said: "I knew she wasn’t going to be happy. She just loves United, she is such an avid fan and loves everything to do with them. It’s always United, United, United."

After the video was uploaded onto Youtube, it was a hit. The original video has gotten over 200,000 views with dozens of other copies, but that's not the end...

RE: previous RT. Lilly, you can still wear blue & be a Red! We'll send you our third kit & we'd love to invite you to a game. See you soon!

On 13 October, Lilly went over to Old Trafford, where she was presented with the kit and given a tour of the stadium with her mum

In the end, Lilly wore her blue uniform with pride. Was all that weeping drama necessary? Yes, for a passionate three-year-old, it was... Now to add blue into her list of favourite colours.
