Monday evening’s clash between Manchester United and Chelsea is perhaps not the glamour tie it once was.
In 2008, the pair contested a Champions League Final, yet less than eight years on from that night in Moscow, both teams have considerable troubles as they meet at Old Trafford.
While Chelsea still languish in the bottom half of the Premier League, United have crashed out of the Champions League and are on a run of three consecutive league defeats.
Unsurprisingly, few are tipping the game to be an exhibition of breathtakingly exciting attacking football, and many on Twitter have even given the fixture its own unflattering name.
Can't wait for the El Boringo' tomorrow, another opportunity for the Philosophy & his sidekicks to move #MUFC to 10th & break expectations.

El Boringo Tomorrow

‘El Boringo’ can hardly be described as creative, but then again, neither are either of the teams taking part in it.
