One of his children, however, was not having it, cheerfully pointing out that United had conceded yet again. The look on Njugush's face said everything.
"Michael Kariuki..." he said, seemingly trying to hold back his tears.
He followed up the clip with a caption taking a gentle dig at his son:
"He is speaking like that, and he hasn't completed his homework."
A second video showed the same boy pleading with Manchester United to pull at least one goal back, a moment that resonated with long-suffering United supporters across the country.
The comedian had also reacted to United's earlier defeat to Como with a similarly entertaining video, making this a week of content gold built entirely on United's misery.
Other Kenyan voices online were equally candid.
Content creator _law_____ kept it matter-of-fact:
"Nothing special, we're used to this 😂 or you thought we would win anything this season." Useful Idioty took a different angle, writing: "Just 1 loss and we are there in the red zone. Carrick must stay, we love him."

How Bournemouth defeated Manchester United
On the pitch, the result was a damaging one for United.
Rayan opened the scoring in the 38th minute, and Marcus Tavernier doubled the lead just four minutes later after Leny Yoro's costly error.
Evanilson added a third in the 71st minute, putting the contest well beyond United's reach.
Manager Michael Carrick introduced Matheus Cunha at halftime in a bid to spark a response, but the substitution had little impact.
Captain Bruno Fernandes was notably absent from the starting line-up and did not feature at all during the match.
The defeat extended United's winless streak against Bournemouth to six games, with the visitors now recording three 3-0 wins at Old Trafford in just four seasons.
Are top managers eyeing Michael Carrick's job?
