United in need of a rethink

Jose Mourinho's Manchester United soap opera came to an abrupt end on Tuesday, but not before his arch-nemesis Paul Pogba interrupted the closing credits with a smirking aside to camera, accompanied by the message "Caption this".

Former United midfielder Gary Neville summed up what many fans were thinking when he entered the Instagram caption competition with the spiky reply: "You can do one as well."

Neville's potshot was the sort of thing his former boss Alex Ferguson might have barked just before he kicked a boot in David Beckham's direction during a particularly tense dressing-room dressing-down in 2003, famously grazing the limelight-loving midfielder's eye.
