Arise News TV host Rufai Oseni has taken a swipe at Manchester United and their fans following the club’s reported 4-1 defeat to Como in the UEFA Champions League.
In a video shared on Thursday, October 22, the broadcaster brought up Pastor Jerry Eze’s recent revival service at the club’s Old Trafford stadium, joking that the spiritual gathering would not automatically improve the team’s performance on the pitch.

Oseni’s comments combined football banter with a familiar phrase associated with the pastor, giving Manchester United supporters another reason to defend their club.
Rufai Oseni takes a dig at Man United fans
In the viral video, Oseni addressed Manchester United supporters who had celebrated Pastor Jerry Eze’s visit to Old Trafford.
He said:
“All of Manchester United fans, I already told you that because Pastor Jerry Eze came to do revival service in your stadium does not mean mean your fortune will change.”
The journalist continued by recalling how some supporters had expressed optimism after the pastor’s visit.
“You were all shouting that Pastor Jerry has prayed for you,” he said.
Oseni’s comments suggested that a revival service should not be mistaken for an immediate solution to the club’s footballing struggles.
The Arise News host also referred to the pastor’s well-known expression, “What God cannot do does not exist,” before delivering his punchline.
“What God can not do does not exist is not related to United matters,” Oseni stated.

@Lightup1x stated:
"Prayer and collective faith have strengthened people and communities for centuries, and mocking fans for hoping a packed Old Trafford gathering might bring encouragement or a turnaround underestimates that. Results in football depend on many things, but belief and support still matter. The season is not over and Manchester United if not workef on it directorate and technical department still have more losing to lose."
@investordany noted:
"Man utd too useless, there was a time in the match when the ref was counting if Man utd players complete as the beating was getting out of hand"
