Sir Alex Ferguson was fuming after the mascot at the Carling Cup game at Old Trafford on Tuesday night had the last laugh.
10 year old Simon Walls won a competition to be the Man United mascot on the night, however all was not as it seemed!!!!.
Simon is from Liverpool and a huge Anfield fan so to win the competition, which his father Pete, had entered him " for the laugh ", was left in a bit of a dilemma.
Would he take up the offer of a free night at Old Trafford, a free Man United kit and track suit or stick with his true allegiances?
Not to upset the sponsors of the competition Nike, he decided to accept the offer and headed for Manchester with his dad Pete and his grandfather Joe.
As the teams left the tunnel 10 year old Simon removed his track suit top to reveal a Liverpool jersey and walked proudly out with the United team.
"I thought nobody would notice but the referee asked if I was at the right match!", said Simon on Merseyside Radio on Wednesday.
I was told to leave the pitch after the coin was tossed and head straight for the centre line between the dugouts where Ferguson was just arriving. He looked at me as I kissed the Liverpool crest on my jersey and waved goodbye to him!.
A spokesman for Old Trafford said that there was nothing in the rules that said the winner had to wear the kit provided but was disappointed that the opportunity to be a mascot at Old Trafford was taken by someone who obviously was not a fan.

Liverpool are in massive debt, causing a crisis, liverpool have stopped giving kits out to mascots, so he had to go get some more clothes that his council house family can share

SAF should have said "You could do with some reputable trophies to go with that shirt son".
