The worst food at football grounds after Man Utd's lunch goes viral

Jake Humphrey is not impressed by the lunch offering at Manchester United.
The BT Sport presenter shared a photo of the food provided as he hosted coverage of United’s game against Southampton on Sunday.
Humphrey’s scrambled egg and mashed potato was compared to prison food, it looked that bad.
“Are you…are you, in prison?!,” read one response.
Another fan wrote: “That’s a crime against humanity, eggs and potatoes.”
Scrambled egg and mashed potato. Wow. Thanks for lunch @ManUtd 😂 pic.twitter.com/jcMN5FA3QL

The Footy Scran Twitter account
Tom Sibley is responsible for tracking ‘Footy Scran’ on Twitter and Instagram, with the Twitter account boasting more than 200,000 followers.
There’s clearly an interest in the type of football on offer at football grounds – good or bad – and the success of the account has shocked Sibley.
“Seeing how well this account has done and how quickly it has grown has been a complete shock to me, especially with how badly it went the first time,” he told GOAL.
“My initial thoughts would be that eventually the content will die down, but we’re still receiving so many messages per day that it’s flying.
“At times, it can get quite overwhelming, especially when I open up the app on my phone to see messages and tweets from people like AJ Tracey and Roman Kemp.”
