The Food Manchester United Offer To BT Sport's Studio Is Going Viral For The Wrong Reasons

BT Sport presenter Jake Humphrey has tweeted a picture of the food offered by Manchester United at this afternoon's game vs Southampton.

United are currently taking on the Saints at Old Trafford and lead 1-0 thanks to Jadon Sancho's first Premier League home goal.

Watching from the studio is Humphrey, Paul Scholes and Glenn Hoddle. Don't think they're eating like kings though.

Humphrey tweeted a picture of his scrambled egg and mashed potato provided by United and the colour palette is muted to say the least.

Scrambled egg and mashed potato. Wow. Thanks for lunch @ManUtd 😂 pic.twitter.com/jcMN5FA3QL

"Scrambled egg and mashed potato. Wow. Thanks for lunch @ManUtd," he wrote with a laughing emoji at the end.

He followed that up with a picture of what Manchester City offered in their studio on a Champions League night. The difference is staggering.

All this comes just a week after United couldn't serve any food at all during their FA Cup defeat to Middlesbrough.

A technical fault inside the stadium left 75,000 fans unable to get something to eat at half-time or during extra time.

United did give some of the food away for free as a gesture of goodwill.

Fans have reacted to Humphrey's picture on social media and they think better food would be served outside the ground.

One commented: "That’s one of the worst things I’ve ever seen."

Maybe left over from the boro game 🤷‍♂️😂 https://t.co/dzB4J9qM2B

Another put: "From no food available the other week, to this. I think I'd rather go hungry."

A third said: "That's not a meal, that's a load of Play-Doh that's been scooped up after a child has played with it."

While someone else tweeted: "Looks as good as United have played this season."

United have made one change from Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Burnley, with Cristiano Ronaldo replacing Edinson Cavani in the starting XI.

The Uruguay international is missing with a groin injury.

Southampton defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 on Wednesday to climb into the top half and came into this afternoon's contest with a day's less rest.

Summer signing Sancho has started to show his best form in a Red Devils shirt and gave United the lead in the 21st minute from close range.

Ralf Rangnick's side looked dangerous throughout, especially on the break, but Southampton grew into the contest.

Stuart Armstrong forced a save from David de Gea to keep the goalkeeper on his toes.

Paul Pogba thought he'd doubled United's lead just before half-time but Ronaldo was ruled offside in the build-up.

Victory for United would see them move into the top four ahead of West Ham, who face Leicester City on Sunday.
