VICTOR LINDELOF escaped Manchester United’s current plight by escaping to Marrakesh – but still found himself surrounded by donkeys.
The Swedish defender had been visiting a farm in the Moroccan city when one of the animals got a little close to comfort with his wife and baby.

The 25-year-old’s other half Maja Nilsson gave birth to their son last year and the young family escaped on holiday during the Premier League’s winter break.
Lindelof’s wife, who previously worked as a blogger and boasts a huge following of 197,000 people on Instagram, has been keeping fans up to date with their adventures.
And in one hilarious video she shared on social media, Maja was seen visiting a farm with their baby boy being acquainted with a baby goat.
However, a seemingly jealous donkey steals the show by barging into its trainer’s back, knocking her into Lindelof’s wife.
The ass then shrugs off the advances of a second male trainer and slouches off, with Maja bouncing back from the initial shock to burst out laughing.
In a separate video, the donkey then has a little nibble at Lindelof’s son’s foot, with VAR footage proving there was contact on the tot’s toe.
Maja, who has been married to the United star since 2018, recovered by enjoying a slap-up meal at a lavish restaurant in the evening.
The 26-year-old, who has been filling her Instagram with the streets and sights of Marrakech, sent fans into a frenzy with a bikini shot of herself sunbathing at the Mandarin Oriental hotel in the city.
She captioned the post with a palm tree and love heart emoji, alongside the simple message: “Life.”
Lindelof, who showed off some impressive artwork on his back as he went for a swim, meanwhile still has until Sunday with his family before heading to Marbella for a week of training.
He will then return to Manchester for the Red Devils clash against Wolves and then quickly Chelsea.
Lindelof hasn’t been the only player in need of a break, with Fred taking his wife Monique on a second honeymoon while Marcus Rashford got away early due to injury so he could attend the Super Bowl.
