Moment Man Utd Treble winner spotted waiting sheepishly before asking US superstar Olivia Rodrigo for a selfie
HE may be a Man Utd Treble winner – but this Irish legend still had to wait his turn for a selfie with Olivia Rodrigo.
The Vampire singer, 21, was the guest of honour at Old Trafford for the match against Chelsea.
She was joined by boyfriend Louis Partridge for the occasion.
As she made her way pitchside, there was much clamour for a selfie with the pop sensation.
Spotted in the background biding his time to ask Rodrigo, who is set to play Glastonbury next summer, for a picture was an Old Trafford legend.
It was Denis Irwin who appeared sheepish as he approached the songstress.
Amusingly, once he had got her attention she duly obliged. But it’s unclear if she knew who he was.
Irwin may not have known that Rodrigo has declared her allegiance to the Blues in the past.
Back in 2023, she was spotted at Stamford Bridge to watch Chelsea take on Liverpool.
She met defender Ben Chilwell pitchside, who gave her a shirt.
She shared the moment on her Instagram: “Hey, my name’s Olivia Rodrigo and today I am at the Bridge for my very first football game.”
She added: “I had the best time and I’m so happy that I got to come.”

Chelsea’s Chilwell later took to social media after learning Rodrigo was a Blues fan.
The club’s social media said: “New Chelsea fan unlocked: Olivia Rodrigo,” and, “Olivia Rodrigo is a Blue!”
Her boyfriend Partridge has been spotted in Manchester while filming Netflix series House of Guinness in nearby Stockport.
Back in the summer, the two were spotted shopping in Ancoats together.
