He’s on the ball!
27/11/2003
DANIEL Jones from Withington is seeing red after winning Manchester United goodies to fill his whole bedroom.
The young football fan from Malvern Grove has had the excitement of Old Trafford brought right into his home, with an entire Manchester United bedroom.
The 12-year-old won the prize after entering a 'spot the ball' competition run by MU Finance, and the prize included wallpaper, duvet, curtains, calendar, and even a clock.
Daniel couldn't believe his luck when he found out that he had won the competition, he said: "I love my new bedroom, I can't believe everything that I've won, every time I turn around there is Manchester United everywhere - it's great!"
His dad Richard Jones said: "Daniel and I are United fans, but his older brother is a blue and his mum can't stand football. Now his room is completely kitted out with United stuff, and he is really pleased. We find it difficult to get tickets for United so he is over the moon to have got this prize. His favourite players were firstly Cantona, then Beckham, who both left, and now it is Van Nistelroy, so I hope the same doesn't happen!"
