Donald Trump is many things: a billionaire businessman, a global brand, a reality TV star, a womanizer and possibly, once again, the occupant of the White House.

But Did you know that the man who can direct the destiny of the United States and the rest of the world was also a soccer player? Trump was a standout athlete at the New York Military Academy: he played baseball, football and also college football.

And apparently it was pretty good. In an interview with Business Insider, Ted Levine, who was his high school classmate, stated that Trump He was so athletic that he could have even become a soccer professional. “He was the best, a good athlete, a great athlete,” Levine told Business Insider. “I probably could have played professional baseball as a pitcher. I think I threw 80 miles an hour. I was the catcher. I left my hand black and blue every day… Could I play football? I could do whatever I wanted. I was gifted physically and mentally.

The controversial politician He was a soccer player when they were only 17 years old when he was a member of the New York Military Academy. He played as a forward.

But his history with “soccer” goes further. He tried to buy Colombian Atlético Nacional and his son Barron played in the DC United youth team and is an Arsenal fan. “I have a son who loves this sport” he has confessed on more than one occasion.

What team is Trump on?

The one who everything indicates will be president of the United States again has confessed his sympathy for Manchester United. He has a close relationship with Ed Glazer, a member of the American family that has owned a majority stake in United since 2005.

The brothers sold a quarter of their stake in the Premier League club earlier this year to British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, but still retain a majority stake, meaning it wouldn’t be unusual to see Trump at Old Trafford one day. .
