After a breathtaking meltdown live on Sky Sports 1 at the weekend bookmakers have made the new faces of northern comedy 5-3 favourites for the honour, with Jonny Evans, Marcos Rojo and Tyler Blackett's impersonations of half-decent footballers bringing tears of joy to the eyes of those watching. For years trips to the so-called Theatre of Dreams were anything but a laughing matter as United systematically crushed the spirit of anyone foolish enough to pay £50 to sit in the away end. However, the appointment of Dutchman Louis van Gaal as Head Crackpot has led to a complete overhaul and most notably the introduction of a revolutionary slapstick routine dubbed by experts as '3-5-2'.
Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs laughed so hard he cried
The move has proven particularly popular with comedy aficionados in the Liverpool area, and legendary Italian mischief maker Mario Balotelli elegantly captured the public mood with a tweet of 'LOL'. Whilst there were strong performances throughout, special mention must go to Blackett, a 20-year old local boy previously unheard of even by his own mother who now looks odds-on to clinch the Best Newcomer Award, and Van Gaal himself for taking a deadpan approach to a whole new level by having a face that uncannily resembles the aforementioned pan.
