A Ugandan Arsenal fan and his family have paid a heavy price for a misguided wager after Manchester United ran out 1-0 winners over the Gunners at the weekend. Henry Dhabasani, of the Iganga district of Eastern Uganda, has lost his
home as a result of Manchester United's 1-0 victory over Arsenal on Sunday after a high-stakes wager with a neighbour.
Fellow local and United fan Rashid Yiga put up his car and wife as collateral in the deal, emerging the victor on the back of Robin van Persie's 27th-minute header at Old Trafford.
Community members and leaders were present as the two men signed a written agreement in the build-up to the encounter between the Premier League leaders and stuttering title-holders.
Dhabasani, who has three wives and five children, was so distraught at full-time that he reportedly fainted.
And on Monday the misguided Gunner was forcibly removed from his home by United supporters along with his family, leaving him homeless.
