The Chosen One banner in pride of place (Picture: Getty)

If there was one thing that haunted David Moyes during his time as Manchester United manager (except for Sir Alex being sat in the stands) it was the infamous ‘Chosen One’ banner.

It took pride of place at Old Trafford after Moyes’ appointment, with the Scot being selected to take charge by ex-boss Ferguson.

However, as we all known, instead of being a source of inspiration, it proved to be a monkey on his back, and the banner has now apparently gone up for sale.

Now we’re pretty sure that this might not actually be the banner, but it’s appeared on eBay with bids going over the £150,000 mark.




How do we know it’s not the real thing? Well, take a look at the item description…

‘David Moyes “Chosen One” Banner.

‘One previous owner, well used, highly sought after and will soon be a relic.

After an 10 months stint in one of the countries top jobs (I should know), David Moyes was sacked as Manager of Man United on 22/04/14, when the NYSE opened.

‘This banner was the subject of many arguments and it was even protected by security for fear of being torn down by angry, angry fans… Fans who wanted the poor David’s head.’

The seller doesn’t seem to have too much hope of a bright future for United either, adding this bit to the end of his listing:

‘Watch this space for future Banners such as, “The Gagging One”, “Louis-eh Van-eh Gaal-eh!” and “Welcome to United Thin Spanish Waiter”.’
