The connection between Manchester United and the Grand Theft Auto series is truly one of a kind in the history of mankind. Whenever Rockstar drops a new GTA game, the Red Devils seem to come out on top in the Premier League. Coincidence? Maybe. But it’s hard to ignore the pattern.
Over the years, Manchester United has clinched the league title in the same years that GTA 1, GTA 2, GTA 4, and GTA 5 were released. It’s almost like a strange alignment of the stars, with the video game franchise and the football club sharing a unique bond.
There’s even talk of a myth surrounding this phenomenon, with some predicting that Manchester United will be crowned champions of the 2025-26 season before a ball is even kicked. It’s all in good fun, but it adds an extra layer of intrigue to an already fascinating story.
As we look back at the timeline of GTA releases and Manchester United’s league triumphs, it’s clear that there’s something special about this relationship. With GTA 6 set to hit shelves on May 26, 2026, fans are eagerly anticipating whether the streak will continue.
But let’s be realistic – after a couple of lackluster seasons, Manchester United is far from being considered title contenders. The odds are stacked against them this time around, and it’s unlikely that they’ll be able to keep their streak alive. The myth may finally come to an end in the upcoming season.
