Manchester United assistant boss Mike Phelan has lifted the lid on his infamous balloon incident at Chelsea on Sunday.

He told MUTV: Everybody has asked me about the incident. It’s just one of those things – there were two balloons floating around in the dug-out and I wanted to get rid of them. It’s lucky for the boss I didn’t burst both balloons! It certainly shocked him. I think it shocked him into action.

"As for the game itself, we started well and we were the better team for the first 45 minutes. To get into the position of leading in the match was terrific.
