Utd signing celebrated move in chip shop
Former Manchester United star Alex Buttner has revealed he was in a CHIPPY when Sir Alex Ferguson signed him.
He told the Mirror: “I was eating a big portion of chips with some mates and my brother when I got this call from my agent.
“It was quite weird because a few weeks before, I had been looking at clubs of a completely different level in England. Southampton, Sunderland and Queens Park Rangers.
“I was going to sign with one of those clubs, I thought. Now suddenly I was wanted by Manchester United?
“I thought it was a massive prank because when I had been visiting one of the other clubs, at one of the stadiums there was a Manchester United book and I said to my agent ‘take a picture of me with the book and we’ll pretend I am in England to sign with Man United’.
“I thought it would be a cracker because my friends knew I had gone to England.
“Then a week later my agent called me when I was in the chip shop and just said ‘Alex, it’s Manchester United’.
“I just thought, f**k off, but he was really serious. Everyone around me looked at me and wondered what was going on.
“All my mates looked at me and I said ‘we are going to Manchester!’ Then everyone went crazy. The chip shop was upside down. It was such a great moment.
“Celebrating the biggest transfer of your life in the chip shop around the corner. My brother jumped on the table, my mates went wild.”
