Wow. Just...wow.
Having witnessed Wayne Rooney's dire acting in Manchester United's tie-in video for
X-Men: Apocalypse ("Apoca-who?!"), we didn't think the club's global partnership with film distributor 20th Century Fox could result in anything worse.
We were so wrong.
The latest film/football collaboration sees Wayne Rooney, Ashley Young, Daley Blind, Juan Mata and Chris Smalling all saving the planet for
Independence Day: Resurgence. That's right - they couldn't finish in the top four, but the planet is in their hands.
To say that the acting - and the whole premise - is shocking would be an understatement. But it's so bad, it's actually good. The players seem to relish their new thespian roles, and at least fail miserably in a very entertaining way - unlike last season.
So cringe/enjoy below. And try not to smirk when Smalling lists Community Shields won as a credential for anything.
