The Incredible Moment A Player Snatches Manager's Note From Opponent

Raul Rusescu is officially our new favourite player after he snatched tactics notes passed onto an opposition player from his manager this week.

A few days back, during Steaua Bucharest's Europa League play-off second leg against Rapid Wien, Goran Djuricin wanted to get some vital information passed onto his players in stoppage time.

Wien went on to win 4-3 on aggregate, winning 3-1 at home and losing 2-1 to the Romanian outfit on Thursday, but Ruesca did his very best to get the team's game-plan.

When the note made its way to captain Stefan Schab, Rusesca was alert and grabbed it out of his hand before he could even blink. Peak levels of sneakiness and shithousery.

Rumours have suggested that Jose Mourinho is already trying to contract Steaua to see if he can acquire the 30-year old.

Last season, when Mourinho's United side beat former club Chelsea 2-1 at Old Trafford in February, Willian tried to get a sneak peek at the note Nemanja Matic received.

Of course, Twitter did its thing with some superb suggestions as to what was on the piece of paper:
