Once Again Wayne Rooney struggled to penetrate the opposition and find a proper opening. Only this time, fellow attacker Zlatan Ibrahimovic also had major issues with the obstacle in his path. The two Manchester United forwards were thwarted by a giant block of Swiss cheese, presented in a ceremonial role during a product launch.
Usually, these corporate commercials have zero news value, but the video of Rooney, Ibrahimovic and their big knife being stymied by a massive wheel of cheese has entertainment value. It’s going viral, so have a watch:
United Manager Jose Mourinho looked on and his face conveyed a sentiment of “I am extremely unimpressed.”
Rooney had to be subbed off for a more mature gentleman, while Ibrahimovic persisted, and eventually the goal was reached. The takeover man took the knife from the United Captain, but broke through with his hands instead.
That is one stubborn cheese disc.
