We might have to rethink the old cliche about Manchester United fans not hailing from the north-west.
Just hours after neighbours City overtook Louis van Gaal’s team to reclaim top spot in the Premier League with a win over Chelsea, there were reports of a mass theft of United shirts in the Greater Manchester area.
Looking to take City’s fans down a notch, the police couldn’t resist having a little dig on social media…
Break at Sports Direct Neary Way Large amount of Utd tops stolen, let us know if you get offered one. Unsurprisingly City tops not touched.
