United coach Ruben Amorim has been recorded in a clip passing a special message to Suluhu before his players signed the shirt.
“Hi Dr Samia, I know that you are in a conversation with Sir Jim about a conservation project in Tanzania and we hope it goes well and we know you are a huge Manchester United fan and I hope to see you soon here at Old Trafford,” Amorim said in the video.
Suluhu also presented the United boss with a Taifa Stars jersey as a gesture of appreciation for what she had received from the Premier League club.
