Actor Ryu Jun-yeol posted a picture of himself cheering at a soccer match between Manchester United and Fenerbahce on his Instagram account Thursday.

“A young kid loved to watch soccer matches on television in the dead of night, and the kid grew up and was televised” Ryu said, referring to himself. “(The trip) ends here at ‘The Theater of Dreams,’” he added.

The match was the third match of the UEFA Europa League group stage held at Old Trafford, home of the British soccer team.
