Staff at a mobile phone shop are offering discounted repairs - but only to Manchester United fans.

And the Levenshulme businessman behind the scheme says no proof of team allegiance is needed because he believes no true City fan would ever pretend to be a Red.

Gogi Rasool is currently offering a 10 per cent discount on phone repairs to any Reds shopping at his family-run business Gfones.

A sign advertising the deal was placed in the shop window, on Stockport Road, on Friday.

Since then the shop has been inundated with delighted United fans hoping to take advantage of the discount, as well as some angry City fans.

Shop assistant Adam Newton said the offer is genuine but it has caused a stir amongst football fans, some of who have tried to claim the sign is discriminatory.

He said: “It’s just a bit of fun really.

“We’re all die-hard Reds here.

“It’s been a mixed reaction. We’ve had a lot of City fans just laughing at it but we actually had one guy kicking off this morning saying it’s discrimination. So we gave him the discount in the end anyway just to show him up.

“Most people love it and they have been laughing at it. We can see people on the buses going past pointing at the sign and laughing. It’s pretty funny.

“It is a genuine offer. We don’t need any proof because any true City fan will not admit to being a United fan.”

Despite antagonising some shoppers, it seems the idea has been good for business with dozens of United fans flocking to the shop over the weekend.

Adam added: “We’ve had the sign up since Friday. On Saturday it was absolute chaos in the shop. It was full of United fans.

“We took over 60 repairs just from United fans. It’s been hilarious.

“It’s a family-run business and we’re all die-hard Reds. It’s just a laugh really.”

Gfones offers mobile phone and laptop repairs and has been based in Levenshulme for 15 years.

United season-ticket holder Gogi, 45, set up Gfones after a successful career in the fashion industry.

The businessman is best known for his work with popular clothing line Gio-Goi - a brand which was popular in the Manchester music scene of the era as well as with musicians including Pete Doherty, Mike Skinner and Calvin Harris.
