So, at the start of last season, a Manchester United fan bet his Liverpool-supporting friend £10 that his team would finish above the Reds in the table.

It seemed a pretty sensible agreement, but with the Red Devils enduring a miserable campaign and Liverpool enjoying a notable resurgence, he was gearing up for an embarrassing pay-out to his Merseyside rivals now the term is over.

But in a frankly brilliant comeback, the United fan ended up coming out on top after trolling Liverpool’s lack of recent success.

The United supporter paid the £10 in 50p pieces – one for each of the 20 times the Old Trafford club have won the league.




It was delivered in a picture frame, complete with a ‘United 20 times’ picture and little images of each of the trophies won.

We salute you, United fan. You’ve pulled victory from the jaws of defeat – shame your team couldn’t do it a little more this season.
