Angry Ginge worth, Baller League fight and real name Prem hero found hysterical
Angry Ginge will grace the turf at his beloved Old Trafford this weekend, as Soccer Aid returns. The Twitch streamer and social media star will undoubtedly revel at the chance to play at the theatre of dreams, given that he is a die-hard Manchester United fan and the club are often a focus of his content.
And this Sunday, the 23-year-old will also have the chance to play with some of football's greatest players - including Red Devils legends Wayne Rooney, Gary Neville, Edwin van der Sar, Paul Scholes and Nemanja Vidic. Meanwhile, a number of other celebrities are taking part in the charity football match which aims to raise money for UNICEF, including Sir Mo Farah, Bear Grylls, Paddy McGuinness and Louis Tomlinson.
But what do we know about Angry Ginge as he prepares for arguably the biggest football match of his life? Here, Mirror Football breaks down his net worth, a fierce Baller League fight and his real name that left a Premier League star in hysterics.
What is Angry Ginge's real name?
Born in November 2001 and raised in Salford, it should come as little-to-no-surprise that Angry Ginge is just a screen name and not the legitimate title of Morgan Burtwhistle. However, that didn't stop Manchester City legend Micah Richards from buckling when he found out what Angry Ginge was actually called.
Speaking on the Baller League UK podcast, Richards asked the content creator what his "Government name" is, with the youngster responding: "Government name? Morgan," - leading the former footballer to double take before he started laughing. Angry Ginge then asked: "What's wrong with that?" to which, Richards added: "Deary, deary, deary deary me. Morgan? What? No way...what's your actual second name? Morgan what?"
When Angry Ginge replied "Burtwhistle" it set Richards off again, howling in a high pitched voice while the content creator couldn't help but crack a smile and chuckle himself.
What are Angry Ginge's earnings?
Angry Ginge burst onto the scene in 2020, quickly garnering thousands of subscribers and views on both YouTube and Twitch. While he initially focused on FIFA and EAFC gaming content, including pack openings and playing online matches. He soon-after transitioned into the world of streaming a variety of video games, as well as real-life content - collaborating with the likes of the Sidemen, Chris MD and Danny Aarons to name a few.
Fast forward to 2025 and Angry Ginge has 814,000 subscribers on YouTube, and 1.3million followers on Twitch. No stranger to a charity football match, Angry Ginge debuted in the Sidemen Charity Match in September 2023, and returned during this year's instalment of the annual event - scoring for the YouTube Allstars in the 58th minute and going on to win the match on penalties.
Elsewhere, Angry Ginge successfully took the reins of the Yanited Baller League UK side this year, competing alongside a number of footballing legends and social media stars each Monday at London's Copperbox Arena. During the regular season, Angry Ginge managed to lead his side to a third place finish in the standings with seven wins, three losses and a draw from 11 games, making it to Thursday's grand final alongside Deportrio, MVPs United and SDS FC.
Thanks to his efforts, Hafi estimate that Angry Ginge has earned between £804k and £1.1m from YouTube, TikTok and Instagram alone over the last 12 months. And that's not factoring in the star's earnings from Baller League or Twitch either.
A bitter Baller League fight
Known for his no-nonsense attitude on the sidelines since the opening match of Baller League this year, Angry Ginge found himself held back by stewards during a mass brawl in Game Week Six. Yanited were facing SDS FC in the fixture, when one of Angry Ginge's players appeared to shove an opponent towards the advertising boards at the side of the pitch.
Tensions began to boil over when members of the respective teams started squaring off with one another, while Angry Ginge also tried to get involved in the action. However, the social media sensation was held back by security as the incident burned out, with PK Humble trying to keep the peace during the chaos.

David de Gea sends Man Utd message as goalkeeper prepares for Old Trafford return
Spanish goalkeeper David de Gea spent more than a decade with Manchester United but left the club in 2023 when Erik ten Hag was in charge at the Premier League club Manchester United will welcome goalkeeper David de Gea back to Old Trafford this weekend, two years after he left the club. And the Spaniard has sent a message to fans aead of his return. The former Atletico Madrid star saw his contract expire in 2023, joining Fiorentina a full year later. The Viola are due in Manchester on Saturday for what will be United's final warm-up game ahead of the new season - a year to the day after De Gea moved to Tuscany. "United Road. See you Saturday," De Gea wrote on social media. The keeper's comments were met with positivity from United supporters, some of whom even suggested he'd be preferable to the English side's current options in the home goal. "Right after the game, we won't let you out of Old Trafford. Fiorentina can go with [Andre] Onana," one supporter wrote under De Gea's message. "Welcome home Dave," wrote a second, with a third saying: "We miss you". "Will be great seeing you play again. Terrible how our club treat you," was the verdict from a fourth. De Gea's former club are looking to round off an unbeaten pre-season campaign by getting the better of Fiorentina. After a goalless draw with Leeds in Stockholm, Ruben Amorim's team claimed two wins and a draw in the Premier League Summer Series in the United States. There was room for improvement in the last of those games, a 2-2 draw with Everton, which prompted captain Bruno Fernandes to ask questions. Ruben Amorim's side will now hope to go out with a bang before beginning their Premier League campaign against Arsenal on August 17. United could find themselves without first-choice keeper Onana for the weekend friendly. The Cameroon international has been working his way back from injury and is optimistic about returning for the league opener, but the Fiorentina match-up may still come too early. "l'm good, I feel great," Onana told NBC during United's spell in the US. "It's been a few difficult weeks but yeah, hopefully, I will be back for the start of the season. I'm enjoying the training with my guys and we are looking forward." Reflecting on the tour, he added: "We're happy with the way things are going. We play well, score goals and I'm happy how the team is developing themselves. Let's see. I think it's going to be important to have a good start against Arsenal and then everything is possible."

Man United reject approaches for Harry Maguire from FIVE clubs in the Premier League (and Italy!) amid uncertainty over England star's Old Trafford future with contract set to expire next summer
Manchester United have rebuffed approaches from clubs in the Premier League and Italy for Harry Maguire, Mail Sport understands. A number of interested parties at home and abroad have been told the likelihood is that the England defender is likely to extend his contract – and spend the rest of his career at Old Trafford. Whether that happens remains to be seen however, three top flight sides and two from Italy explored a move for Maguire this summer and were turned away. The 32-year-old sees his current, £190,000-a-week deal expire at the end of the forthcoming season. While his camp declined to comment, it is thought that he is keen to stay at United, whom he joined from Leicester City for £80m in 2019, a then world record fee for a defender. Maguire's desire is to emulate the likes of Denis Irwin, Gary Pallister, Steve Bruce and Bryan Robson, who are all fondly regarded as key United mainstays by the club's support. No talks have yet taken place over extending Maguire's contract, but the message to interested parties is believed to have been that United are keen to keep him. Regardless, the man with 64 England caps is unlikely to be short of options. He is known to be aware of stunning season former team-mate Scott McTominay has enjoyed following his switch to Napoli, which saw him named Serie A's most valuable player as he scored 12 goals to help his side win the league. In Maguire's case, former United bosses Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who brought him to Old Trafford, could offer escapes to Turkey via Fenerbahce and Besiktas, while Galatasaray are known to be admirers. French duo Monaco and Marseille are monitoring the situation for a player who could move for free at the end of the season. Clubs from outside England can approach players to negotiate pre-contract agreements as much as six months before the end of their contracts. That means that, should United and Maguire fail to reach an agreement, his exit could be sealed as early as January. A new deal would cap a remarkable turnaround for the Sheffield-born centre-half. He lost the captaincy under Erik ten Hag and came close to joining West Ham United in 2023. However, Maguire has enjoyed something of a renaissance under Ruben Amorim and became a key figure for United following the Portuguese's arrival. Indeed, at times he was often thrown up front thanks to his aerial ability, with United short on attacking options, and delivered the dramatic late winner in April's staggering 5-4 Europa League quarter-final win against Lyon. In January, United triggered a one-year extension to his deal, with Maguire also named as captain in Bruno Fernandes' absence.

Man Utd transfer news LIVE: Harry Maguire exit updates, United make HUGE Sesko BID, Watkins KEEN on Red Devils move
Amorim warning Ruben Amorim fired a warning to his players after Manchester United laboured to a draw with Everton on Sunday evening. He told MUTV: "We struggled a little bit, so it's just that feeling of not performing like we're supposed to do. But it was OK. "We struggled a little bit with longer balls, not just the second balls, but the first balls. "We struggled in the build-up, but we created chances and that is really important to win any match. "You can perform, I don't like to say bad, but we can struggle a little bit in the game. But if you create chances you can win even that kind of game."
