Former Thai PM Srettha Thavisin Comments on Manchester United's Defeat in Italy

Former Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, a well-known Liverpool supporter, recently commented on the performance of rival club Manchester United following their 1-4 defeat to Como in a UEFA Champions League match held on October 21, 2026.

According to Khaosod Online, Srettha visited the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia in Italy, where the match took place. He shared his impressions of the venue, noting that despite its modest capacity of 12,000 seats, the stadium possesses a unique atmosphere capable of challenging major teams.

This social media activity follows Srettha’s recent announcement regarding the acquisition of the five-star 'Lake Como EDITION' hotel by Sansiri, a company he was previously associated with. For residents and travelers, this highlights the intersection of Thai business interests and European sports culture in the Lake Como region.

While the former Prime Minister’s commentary is purely personal, it underscores the growing visibility of Thai figures in international sporting and luxury hospitality sectors. It remains to be confirmed whether these public appearances in Italy will lead to further business or cultural collaborations between the region and Thai entities. Observers should note that Srettha’s remarks are those of a private citizen and football enthusiast rather than an official government statement.
