Red conquers Everest

United fan Nima Namgyal Sherpa
fulfilled one of his big ambitions in
May when he climbed to the summit
of Mount Everest in his native Nepal.
Among his vital supplies, helping him
to scale the world-famous peak, was
a photo of the Reds' title-winning
squad...
So, Nima, tell us about yourself –
how old are you and how long have
you been following Manchester
United?
I'm 30 and I was born and raised in
the mountains of Nepal, in a remote
village called Khumjung. I attended
the school built there by Everest's
famous first conqueror, Sir Edmund
Hillary. After graduating as a doctor
in Kathmandu in 2009, I decided to
help my fellow Sherpas and our many
visiting climbers from overseas by
specialising in high-altitude medicine
and the management of medical
emergencies on the mountains. I
can't remember the exact date I
started following Manchester Unit
