Questions will be mostly indirect ones and in Malayam making it tough for teams to Google them within the allotted 12 seconds.
Fans of the European football giant Manchester United (MU) across the world desperately need a diversion taunted as they are over social media platforms for their team’s chastening defeats at the hands of arch-rivals Liverpool and Manchester City in the English Premier League.
For the fans in the State that seems to have come in the form of a football quiz to be held over WhatsApp over a period of about two months by the Manchester United Supporters Club Kerala (MUSCK), one of the few officially recognised MU fans club in the country.
The quiz will be organised like a football match between two teams of seven members each or eight if a team opts for a non-playing manager. While five will be first-team members, two will be substitutes.
