Manchester United fan Mark Goldbridge's passionate half-time team talk at the Sidemen Charity Match has certainly got fans talking.

Goldbridge was named as manager of the YouTube All Stars team for the clash at the London Stadium, which saw a 62,000 capacity crowd in attendance.

They took on a Sidemen FC squad, featuring the likes of KSI, Miniminter and Vikkstar123.

But Goldbridge couldn't guide his team to a win, with the Sidemen winning 8-5 in an entertaining matchup.

ChrisMD and Max Fosh were among the goalscorers for the All Stars, with the match raising a incredible sum of £2,425,855 for various charities.

Goldbridge more than played his part during the afternoon - and felt the need to give his squad a passionate team talk at half time which would have made even the great Neil Warnock proud.

After a slightly bizarre assertion that somehow combined puppies, Christmas Eve and the All Stars into one sentence, Goldbridge quickly got into his stride.

He continued: "I don't want to be Spurs, I want to be Real Madrid. I don't want to win halves, I want to win trophies.

"This is about determination. It's about teamwork. The only thing that can stop us is fear. And what have we got to be scared of?

"Look around - you're all on the same team. Fear will hurt us, fear will make us tired, fear will drag us down. Does fear exist in this dressing room? No."

Goldbridge then started making film references: "We are Rocky Balboa FC. Every champion started off as a contender, who fought hard to become what they are. We are Maximus Gladiator FC.

"This is about winning. Who wants to f***ing win? They want to destroy you, who wants to win? I said, who wants to win? Well, go out there and f***ing win!"

The dressing room then burst into raptures of noise as they prepared to re-enter battle, buoyed by their manager.

And fans were impressed at Goldbridge's rousing half-time speech.

One wrote: "Better manager than Klopp and Pep combined."

A second simply stated: "Pep Goldbridge."

And another added: "I'm not even playing and I want to run on the pitch after that."

A fourth compared him to current United boss Erik ten Hag: "I've seen enough, you're a better manager than Ten Hag."

And a fifth wrote: "Why's Pep managing the YouTube All Stars?"

Unfortunately for Goldbridge, his passionate speech didn't have the desired effect. The All Stars conceded four goals in 17 minutes after the interval - and went on to lose the match.
