Marin Levidzhev fought for two years in Bulgarian courts to change his name legally to Manchester United. Local magistrates refused to allow a surname change, but are permitting him to from now on be known as Manchester Levidzhev.
Yet Levidzhev remains determined, declaring that he'll take his quest to become Mr. United to a higher court.
''I feel as if I am only at the halftime break,'' he said. ''I won't feel right until I get all my name changed to Manchester United. I love the club. It's my whole life and I want my name to reflect that.''
