In a heated encounter at Old Trafford, Manchester United fans took the opportunity to troll West Ham midfielder Kalvin Phillips, who is on loan from rivals Manchester City. Despite the banter, United emerged as comfortable 3-0 winners, with young talents Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho impressing on the scoresheet.
Phillips, who joined the action in the final 18 minutes, became the target of a playful chant from the United faithful, with fans singing, “Phillips, show us your t**s.” In response, the England star humorously lifted his bib to reveal his chest, eliciting amusement from the stands.
This isn’t the first time Phillips faced such treatment at Old Trafford, with similar chants during his visit with Manchester City in January 2023. Pep Guardiola had previously dropped Phillips from the squad, citing concerns about the player’s weight after returning from England World Cup duty. Guardiola emphasized that Phillips would be included once he attained the required fitness level.
