I'm a Manchester United fan, and my gifter seems to have a nice sense of humour about it.

Recently the managerial legend that is Sir Alex Ferguson retired from managing Manchester United. He was replaced by David Moyes who vastly underperformed and was sacked after 10 months.

Nemanja Vidić was, a few years ago, one of the worlds best defenders, and a part of one of the best defensive partnerships in the world. After a decline over the past few years he has decided to leave Manchester United and will join Internazionale playing in Serie A.

My exchange gifter decided to send me two 'Soccer Starz', official Manchester United merchandise, of these two individuals, who are actually no longer going to be at the club. It got a chuckle out of me anyway.

Excellent gift. These little guys are now taking pride and place on my bookshelf, reminding me of a less than stellar season, but hopefully one we can build on!
