Dressed in replica T-shirts of their Premiership clubs, the fans waved, while others escorted the glittering trophy, making brief stops at different trading centres. Former World Cup defender Marcel Desailly was expected yesterday afternoon. “Ekyo Kyaffe!†(“That is oursâ€) a Manchester United supporter shouted hoarse, as the convoy drove through Entebbe Road heading towards Serena Hotel.

On Sunday, the trophy will be at Nakivubo Satadium where fans will take photos with it.
