Although it was met by a backlash from United supporters who were outraged by his tweet.
One fan wrote: "I love u sooo much Roger , but don't do this to me !"
Another said "For once, NO ROGER" while a fellow supporter tweeted: "This is the first time I’ve ever been disappointed at something you’ve said."
The criticism kept on coming with another writing: "Stick to tennis Roger you’re doing my head in."
Others directed funny memes at Federer while one sympathised: "United is my team but ugh, it's always so good to see you happy."
Federer is a big fan of his hometown football team Basel and been pictured watching them on a number of occasions.
In 2016, Federer was delighted to be chosen to hand the Basel players the league title in the trophy presentation.
Being a tennis player and playing around the world means Federer is unable to visit the St Jakob-Park often and the 36-year-old says it is a sacrifice he has to make.
He told Swiss outlet Basler Zeitung: “I’d like to attend more FC Basel games and this kind of events.
“But this is what you have to do to if you have a tennis career.
“But I know that when I will stop playing tennis, it will be all different. I have an apartment in the centre of the city.”
