When you’re one of the world’s best players, it must be annoying when the opposition team have the audacity to mark you out of the game and give your side a good whipping in the process. It seems that it was all too much to bear for a certain Manchester United player.

For the first time in Premier League history, the Gunners are bigger than 2/1 to win a home match. Indeed, for most matches, they are usually odds-on favourites, yet it’s a reflection of their poor form and injury worries that the bookmakers are instead making Manchester United the favourites to come away with the spoils.

Some people don’t believe in false modesty, and this Red Devils forward certainly falls into that category. When asked to define himself in one word, he couldn’t resist giving the interviewer what he was looking for, but do you agree with the Manchester United player’s verdict?

You wouldn’t be surprised if redundancies were announced on Fleet Street after this latest news concerning one of the best football players in the world. After all, journalists are going to have one less thing to write about in the summer, if indeed reports are true that Real Madrid have called off the hunt for […]
