Martha Gustavsen Ødegården (17) was seriously injured after shots on Utøya. When she becomes healthy again expect the stars of Manchester United on her. ( Edit; they'll be waiting to meet her)
After the attacks in Oslo and Utøya, received representatives of the English big club to hear that a big United fan was injured.
The club were approached to give Martha Gustavsen Ødegården a small bright spot in the difficult time.
- The first thing that happened was that we immediately following the incident received inquiries from the United States, where United were in training camp and wished her good recovery. They would send her a signed shirt on behalf of the team. As they have thought more about, there have been several things later, which is also fun for all the family, explains Martes father, Bjorn Tore Ødegården, to VG Nett.
He says that the daughter probably have been noticed on Twitter by the big club.
- Martha's United fan like that. She has gradually gained a wide network within football, particularly through Twitter. Probably it is through this that her situation has become known in the United, that she was among those who were affected by this tragic incident, he said.
What has happened is that Manchester United have arranged it so that when Martha is well get both she and the rest of the family trip to Manchester.
There, the few attend training sessions and matches, and meet the players.
Everything is paid for by the club.
Encouraging
Bjorn Tore Ødegården says that he feels the attention of United as very positive, and says it is encouraging for her daughter who is currently located at Ullevål University Hospital.
- This is a huge motivation for her to train up and become healthy again. When she had conveyed the greeting message from the team, not to mention the invitation to come visit, she did not believe completely that it could be true, says Ødegården to VG Nett.
The whole family also get to travel, think he's extra gratifying. They get flights, accommodation, match ticket, entry to practice and meet some of the players.
- This is huge for us all. I for my part, also Manchester United fan, so I feel this is very big. This request from the club, I think shows that there is a strong community in football, says Ødegården.
- A very nice gesture
It was the editor of the Manchester United fanzine Day Langerød who passed this on to Ødegården family after being contacted by the club in the United States.
- I was in Chicago when I got a call from the people I know in the United. They wanted me to their hotel so the boys on the team could sign a jersey for her. It was I, but after a few days I was contacted again. Then United do more for Martha when she is healthy. That is why they have invited her and her whole family over to Manchester, explains Langerød to VG Nett.
He thinks it is fantastic that the club wants to do something positive for the family.
- Signing of the shirt is one thing, but to invite her and her whole family thinks I'm a very nice gesture. Besides, it is completely out of nothing. The club has even taken the initiative for this and they are very concerned that Martha will be fresh enough to be able to travel, says Langerød.
