Thirteen points adrift from Premier League leaders and arch-rivals City, Manchester United strengthened their position to finish second this season with an emphatic 2-1 win over Liverpool on Saturday. There were some serious doubts over United's ability to contain the fast-paced attacking play of the Kops, but in the end, the Red Devils achieved the impossible through Marcus Rashford's brace at Old Trafford.

Jose Mourinho's particular style of man management does not suit all tastes, nor is it always successful. But, when the right technique is used on the right player, it can inspire the perfect response - the one that propelled them to a five-point lead on the second spot over the weekend.

The victory over the Reds undoubtedly restored the faith of Man Utd fans in their controversial manager and also served as a reminder for their rivals - other than neighbours Man City - that they are still the second-best team in the league. However, all their hardwork and efforts eventually went in vain after pictures of Marouane Fellaini's abhorrent photoshoot surfaced on the social media.

Posing for a magazine photoshoot, the United midfielder - whose trademark afro has already served great purpose for hilarious memes - experimented with some extreme looks for their spring summer issue.

In another photo, Fellaini looked no different than Coronation Street character Hilda Ogden as he donned a headscarf and had his frizzy locks pulled. Apart from the photoshoot, Fellaini also gave an interview on the sidelines where he discussed his reputation for being overly aggressive, his manager Mourinho and his country Belgium's chances at the upcoming FIFA World Cup in Russia.

But, it appears that no one is interested in what he had to say, as the football fanatics across the globe took turns to troll United and their controversial player.

If Fellaini has done that to his hair, then Pogba has lost his game time for sure. He doesn't want to be sold? The devil is a liar
