Weghorst's unconvincing body double

Sky Sports have a thing or two to learn when it comes to subterfuge. When the Manchester United starting XI for their match at Crystal Palace was displayed on screen, new signing Wout Weghorst was shown in United colours for the first time. Only, while the head was Weghorst’s, the body clearly belonged to someone else — someone far shorter than the 6ft 5in striker and who was wearing Nike boots rather than the forward’s preferred adidas.

The botch caused bemusement at United, whose officials had provided all the material Sky needed in advance.
