Newcastle United hero Alan Shearer says ‘let it go’.
Alan Shearer signs for Newcastle
Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has urged a Manchester United fan to finally ‘let go’ of the fact he snubbed signing for the club.
Shearer was criticised in a post from a Manchester United account on Twitter, and was evidently irritated by it.
The pundit urged the Red Devils supporter behind the account to simply let it be.

Manchester United made two pushes to sign Shearer, first trying to snap him up from Southampton, and then most memorably in 1996, but he chose to sign for hometown club Newcastle United instead in a record transfer deal.
This was a decision which cost him winning medals, but he had already won the league with Blackburn Rovers, and has never spoken of regretting the decision he made.
From an individual perspective Shearer accomplished more than he could have imagined, ending his career as the Premier League’s all time record goalscorer, a feat which still stands today.
