Francis Ngannou claims he is Man United's 'favourite heavyweight boxer' as the ex-UFC superstar poses in a Red Devils shirt ahead of 3-2 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in Las Vegas

Francis Ngannou has claimed that he is 'Manchester United's favourite heavyweight boxer'.

The former UFC fighter, who is set to do battle with known United fan Tyson Fury in October, was present as Erik ten Hag's side succumbed to a 3-2 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in Las Vegas on Sunday.

And it was a disappointing performance from United, with the Dutch manager blasting his team after the game for an 'unforgivable' capitulation, which is notably their third pre-season loss on the bounce in the US.

The Red Devils took the lead through Diogo Dalot inside 25 minutes, but conceded twice with Donyell Malen scoring a duo of goals in a matter of seconds at the end of the first-half.
