(Artificial fart sound)
That feels a bit weird.
They’re cheese socks so they’re for people with smelly feet.
They actually smell though.
Do they?
Yeah.
(laughing)
He’s got me! They don’t smell of anything!
It’s proper Christmas time in Manchester, we’re sat outside by the Coca Cola truck.
We’re going to give some secret Santa gifts for the Manchester United players.
I’ve selected the gifts, so you just pick them out and say who you’re giving them to.
Why don’t you crack on and open the sack? There are some gifts for you.
You’re now Santa.
I’m going in blind.
The King. The crown.
It’s got to be…
Can I give it to myself?
You can give it to yourself.
You would want more jewels on there, would you?
Who’s a real boss?
I’ll give it to Mr. Ashley Young this one.
Why is that, has he got a big leadership role in the dressing room?
Yeah he’s the big boss. Captain.
I’m giving it to Ashley Young.
When he speaks, you listen?
One of them!
Ashley will be happy with that, won’t he?
I think he will be giving you a pat on the back tomorrow.
Hold it up the camera. Let’s have a look.
A moustache.
So this could be somebody with facial hair who you think needs an upgrade,
or somebody whose facial hair you already like.
Marcus [Rashford].
Does he need an upgrade?
No, I don’t think he can grow it.
He can’t grow it?
No.
That’s a problem isn’t it?
He can have that, I’ll give that to Marcus.
You’d like to see Marcus with a moustache?
Yeah.
What is he 22 [years-old] now?
Yeah.
He’s probably never going to grow it, is he?
What’s this?
Is that a chain?
It’s a chain, yeah.
It’s a bit of a ‘Flava Flav’ type of…big clock.
Would you like it?
I like this you know.
Would you ever wear something like that?
No.
Not a plastic version.
I’m going to give it someone…
I’ll give this to Angel [Gomes].
Why is that?
We don’t know Angel very well, he’s still a young lad.
You know him better than we do.
Yeah, I know him…
You know what, he’s good with time but I think he would enjoy this piece.
Is it a Rolex?
Yeah it is a Rolex well spotted.
How good is Angel? You captained a team with him in recently...
What can we expect from him in the future?
I’ve always said he’s the next one to come through.
I’ve seen his ability from an early age
and he’s always unbelievable,
every day in training, always working hard
and he’s just waiting for his opportunity.
What kind of player is he?
Creative…very creative
and skilful.
He’s got a bit of pace now as well.
So like I said, he’s working hard in training and waiting for his chance.
I’m sure he’s looking up to you as well.
Did you keep the armband?
I did actually, yeah.
That’s a good gift, hold it up to the camera.
Do you know what that is?
Whoopee cushion!
(farting sound)
So this could be, I don’t know…somebody on the bus who farts too much.
I’m going to give this to Lee Grant.
He’s got a bit of a joker streak in him,
so I think he’d enjoy this.
Well you can keep that if you want to.
I might do!
Give him a secret Santa.
That feels a bit weird.
I love socks like this. Do you want to see mine?
Yeah, let’s have a look.
You actually do wear socks like this?
Ah good…
but I think they’re cheese socks so they’re for people with smelly feet.
They actually smell though.
Do they?
Yeah.
(laughing)
He’s got me! They don’t smell of anything!
So, who would you give them to? You like them.
I think you might be pocketing them after this interview, aren’t you?
Yeah, I don’t mind these you know.
You can have them.
I have sweaty feet, so I’ll take them.
French Bulldogs.
This is a cute little dog calendar.
Is there somebody who is a bit obsessed with dogs?
I’m going to give this to Luke Shaw.
He’s got two little cute dogs at home.
I think this would be a perfect match for him.
Is he always boring you with pictures of the dogs?
He’s actually got socks made with his dogs on.
I didn’t even know you could do that.
Yeah, he’s done it.
He wears them on game days for good luck.
So I’ll give that to Luke.
Wow. That is a revelation about Luke Shaw right there.
I mean that is some serious gossip.
I feel like you’re actually excited about pulling half of these out.
Bling, this is bling now.
[Timothy] Fosu-Mensah.
You think he would pull that off?
Yeah. He loves a chain.
I’ll give that to Tim.
What’s this?
Hold it up.
No!
You can’t even touch it!
You do it.
You can’t even touch it.
There are a couple.
Open that, It’s a good one.
That’s sick.
Hold that up.
It says ‘Manc and proud’.
Who would you say that goes to?
I think… Mr. Manc born and bred himself.
Marcus Rashford.
A proper Manc.
What makes a proper Manc in your opinion?
A proper Manc - speaks like that.
He’s born and bred. He loves Manchester United.
Marcus Rashford.
If you play for a team, you’ve got to have some local boys in there haven’t you?
Yeah of course.
That’s what Manchester United is all about.
Bringing the youth through.
What do you think of Ole’s accent, Manc accent?
Manc Norwegian…
It’s alright you know!
It’s getting there.
It’s proper real, isn’t it? He’s kind of absorbed the culture of Manchester.
Pour the bag out.
What is it?
Pour the bag out on the floor.
There’s something else.
There’s another little something, I think.
Who would you give the ball to? Somebody who is in top form at the minute.
Or even a couple, if you want.
Here’s some glasses as well.
Do you like them?
See, they’re holiday flex them.
Those are the last two.
No, I’m not feeling them actually.
Not for you?
They’re a bit of you them.
Ok ill put them on.
You’ve been putting on all of the stuff so it’s time for me to get involved.
Wow. The world looks very pink now.
Rose tinted spectacles.
Somebody who sees the world in a very optimistic way.
You’re pulling it off.
Yeah, you think it looks good?
Ratings?
All the camera crew are like ‘booo’.
It’s not going well.
So, top form… who's in top form?
It’s a perfect one to end on.
Who has wowed you in training lately or even in games?
I’m going to say his name again, aren’t I?
Rashford?
It has to be somebody but Rashford.
You’ve given him too much now.
We know you’ve got the bromance.
I’m going to give it to Fred.
The last two games he has been solid in midfield.
He’s been a real rock.
We can rely on him to back us when we press high.
I think he’s doing really well at the moment.
How good is it when you prove somebody wrong in football?
That’s what I’m saying...
like I said, for us we concentrate on one job and that’s to win the games.
That’s great stuff, well thanks for your time.
It’s been very cold but he’s survived the cold and survived the challenge.
Top man, thank you very much.
