It Turns Out The Manchester United Clamping Incident Was Just A Prank

James Fenton

Yesterday, we reported that the Manchester United team bus was clamped outside the Marker Hotel in Dublin.

The Red Devils were in the capital to for their pre-season friendly with Italian side Sampdoria, which they won 2-1, and seemed to get into a bit of bother in the lead-up to the game. 

However, according to the Irish Independent, the situation was a result of some classic Dublin messin’ from a clamper at the Marker Hotel. 

A spokeswoman for the club said:

“It was just a prank. Some guy pretended to clamp the bus and took a picture.”

Surely we’re not the only ones a bit disappointed that this wasn’t real? With United’s arch-rivals Liverpool in Dublin this weekend let’s hope there’s some sort of genuine hijinks to keep us entertained.
