      Shaw, 25, says the image of the popular cereal-selling primate is a tribute to his two-year-old son Reign.
      The goalscorer in the Euro 2020 Final told the Lions Den YouTube channel about the unique ink.
      He said: “My son is obsessed with Coco Pops, he has a lot of them in the morning, I thought it would be quite cool because he is interested in my tattoos.”
      The Red Devils star also has a cartoon drawing of him signing his first professional contract inked on the same arm.

      Shaw has been on fine form for the Old Trafford club.
      He has barely put a foot wrong since United have developed a new-found resilience in recent weeks.
      It puts him in good contention for Gareth Southgate’s starting XI against Iran on Monday.
      Especially with the injury of Ben Chilwell – who tore his hamstring during Chelsea’s win over Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League – at left-back.

      Meanwhile, Qatar have shocked fans by BANNING all booze from stadiums at World Cup 2022 – just TWO days before the tournament starts.
      The announcement comes despite supporters previously being promised they could drink beer in stadiums throughout the tournament.
      But while Fifa buckled under pressure from the Qatari authorities, it appears Three Lions fans won’t let it get in their way.
      One supporter told The Sun: “It won’t dampen my experience too much because I will just get p****d before the games.
      “That’s the way the cookie crumbles.” More

      He cost United £85.5m from Ajax but he is already proving his worth on the pitch with three Premier League goals.
      The Brazilian is also showing he has a flair for the dramatic off-the-pitch as he shows off his range of new tattoos.
      Antony’s Instagram story shows him getting inked up only days after his call-up to Brazil’s World Cup squad.
      The star lies shirtless as a tattooist adds to the already fine collection of art along his arms.

      In a second post he then shows off his new designs.
      The most eye-catching is the word “shhh…”, which he had inked down the side of his forefinger.
      It will add even more panache to any potential Antony celebration if he raises his finger to his lips after scoring.
      He also had the year “2014” and a fist drawn in striking purple ink on the back of his left arm.

      And Antony had “123…” along the length of his right knuckle and the word “iluminado” along his neck, which translates as “illuminated” in English.
      The 22-year-old previously explained to Manchester United’s website the reason behind his tattoos and particularly the picture of the lion on one of his arms.
      He said: “I’ve got this one together with my brother, which says ‘only those from the same place know what I’ve been through.
      “This one on my neck is a chain pendant and the full sleeve has meaning.”
      He added in the September interview that he planned to get even more ink in the future.
      Antony has missed United’s last few games with injury but will be hoping to return for their final pre-World Cup game away at Fulham on Sunday.

      And while he follow through with it, Hendo revealed that he would have been joined by team-mate Alexander-Arnold were it not for a last-minute intervention.
      Speaking to the Daily Mail, Henderson revealed: “The days after beating Tottenham in the Champions League final were a blur. 
      “We returned to Liverpool for an open-topped bus parade with the trophy the following day. Within the week, I was in Trent Alexander-Arnold’s room in Portugal. 
      “We were there for the Nations League finals. We’d just had a training session with England, but our heads were still in the Estadio Metropolitano, and Trent had an idea.

      “‘Let’s get tattoos!’ he said. ‘We should get the Champions League trophy tattooed on our calves.’
      “I haven’t got many tattoos. Just ones of my kids, which are on my ribs. Straight away, I said I was up for it, though.
      ‘”You’ll do it, too, right?’ I said. It was he who had suggested it, after all. ‘One hundred per cent,’ he said.”
      Henderson explained that he had arranged for former Liverpool defender Daniel Agger to help them book in their tattoos due to his expertise on the matter.

      And with everything then arranged, Henderson added: “I pulled up outside his (Trent’s) villa at 11am.
      “I thought he might be waiting, but it was quiet. I waited for a bit, then he came out. He was looking a bit sheepish.
      ‘”Come on, get in,’ I said. He said ‘I can’t come’.”
      ‘”You what?’ My face dropped. ‘What do you mean, you can’t come?’
      “‘I can’t come because my mam says I’m not allowed,’ he said.
      “‘You f****** what?’ I said. ‘Get in the car, man. We’ve got to go. ‘Are you serious? Your mam says you can’t get a tattoo?’
      “It turned out that Trent had mentioned the tattoo to his brother, Tyler, who had mentioned it to his mam, and she had rung Trent up and basically said, ‘You’re not getting a tattoo. End of.'”
      And that was the end of that. Henderson posted a photo of the tattoo alongside artist Tommy Montaya, which in another world would have included his Liverpool team-mate as well.
      This season Liverpool have been enduring a far more turbulent time on the pitch, sitting down in eighth in the Premier League.

      However they do remain in contention for another Champions League trophy – facing Real Madrid in the Last 16.

      Man City groundsman shows off Man Utd tattoo on leg as he inspects pitch before Fulham clash

      by

      A MANCHESTER CITY groundsman has surprisingly been spotted with a tattoo of fierce rivals Manchester United. The member of staff was seen inspecting the pitch at the Etihad Stadium before Pep Guardiola’s side faced Fulham.

      And the groundsman was photographed in shorts showing off his Man Utd leg tattoo in what feels like the wrong stadium.
      Of course there is nothing wrong with City employing a United fan but would he have got the role if he flexed his body art in his job interview?
      His work may have also led to his own side’s downfall as City, on their slick pitch, hammered Man Utd 6-3 earlier this season.
      Erling Haaland and Phil Foden both netted hat-tricks as they embarrassed their neighbours.

      But maybe Man City are onto something hiring staff that support rival clubs as the blue side of Manchester’s pitch maintainers have been voted as the best in the Premier League in previous seasons.
      Back in 2021 manager Guardiola praised the groundstaff team, naming them his man of the match after a 2-1 win over West Ham.
      They secured a vital three points on their way to lifting the league title in snowy conditions that nearly resulted in the game being called off.
      Head groundsman Lee Jackson worked overtime clearing the pitch that day and Guardiola heaped praise on them saying they did an “incredible job”.

      Jackson is one of the longest serving members of staff at the club and has worked for them for over 30 years.
      Man City left it late versus Fulham with Erling Haaland converting a last minute penalty to win it 2-1.
      The Cottagers were left hoping the tattooed United fan left a divot on the spot but there was no luck with keeper Bernd Leno getting a touch but not doing enough to stop it going in versus ten-man City. More

      Garnacho has worked with arguably the top two footballers of all time in Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, both are his “idols” and he could learn a lot from them, which would benefit United.
      The youngster has been seen getting advice from United team-mate Ronaldo, 37, who handed him his hat-trick match ball from the game against Norwich last season.
      Garnacho is so impressive, that some former United players are calling for him to be handed more minutes.
      Former United defender Paul Parker is keen to see more of the “tenacious” winger.
      Parker told BeMyBet: “I think really you have to look at what you got within the squad, there’s a younger player, Alejandro Garnacho.
      “Everyone was kind of talking about him in the pre-season.
      “Garnacho [is] tenacious… a lot of Argentinians are playing with a fire in their belly and are a bit fiery, and he’s got a competitive edge.”

      Speaking ahead of the fight Conor Benn revealed much about his tattoos.
      He is covered in body art from head to toe and he explained the meaning behind his neck tattoo that says ‘Fear is a Lie.’
      The 26-year-old was asked if he feared losing he replied: “I’ve got fear is a lie tattooed across my neck.
      “Fear to me is a lie. I mean fear is an illusion. You can fear something that doesn’t even happen.

      “How can you give something some power or fear something that hasn’t even happened yet. It only exists in your head and nine times out of ten it doesn’t happen anyway.
      “So, me fearing losing is why I train so hard. I love winning, don’t get me wrong but I probably fear losing a bit more.
      “I train out of fear I really do. I don’t think I could deal with losing. I fear it so much I get scared.
      “And that’s why I train so hard, I have my reasons and if fear is what gets me out of bed in the morning at 5am, I’m gonna do that. I’ll do it twice on Sundays if needs be.

      “All I can do is do everything in my power to make sure that I am not beat by me. When I get in the ring I’m not beat by Conor Benn.
      “If the other man beats me, I can’t even say fair enough, I can’t beat myself.”
      ‘The Destroyer’ has his nickname written across his shoulders and also has his own brand’s logo ‘CB’ on his body.
      The welterweight additionally has a large cross on his chest and the words Fear God across his stomach.
      Furthermore the boxer has a tribute to his son Eli Clay on the side of his face. His name is tattooed near to his ear.
      Speaking about the tattoo Benn exclusively told SunSport that he had to get his mother’s permission for it.
      Most read in Boxing
      Benn revealed: “I have my son’s name tattooed down the side of my face now so he is never far away from me.
      “I must admit I had to call my mum and get permission for that one because I always promised her I would never get one on my face.
      “I made the call and explained it to her and she gave me permission.
      “I was never going over the eyebrow, or doing a Mike Tyson, I had thought about a facial one before but don’t think I have it in me.”
      Benn will be looking to do better than his father managed against a Eubank family member as his bouts ended in a loss and a draw.
      However if Eubank Snr had his way the fight would not be going ahead at all as he is worried about his son’s safety after losing weight for the fight.

      And after a rocky start by the Red Devils, he is now firmly finding his feet with a number of impressive displays.
      Now Malacia, who shone in a new role for Holland at the weekend, has given his Instagram followers a glimpse of what is under the shirt as he showed off his incredible ink work.
      And it is remarkably similar to his Netherlands teammate and former United winger Depay’s.
      The now Barcelona ace, 28, actually got his lion tattoo while he was at the Theatre of Dreams.

      He previously said of his artwork: “The lion on my back represents me – I have the heart of a lion. I got it done in Manchester.
      “It took a long time because it’s so big, maybe like 24 hours in total.
      “I always had a feeling that I’ve been brought up in the jungle: I was always outside, I’ve been to rough areas and I’ve been through rough times.
      “The lion is for me, ‘the king of the jungle,’ and I always stayed on my feet even though it was rough.”

      It remains unknown when and where Malacia got his done – but he will definitely be hoping for more success at United than Depay.

      Sosa’s unconventional barnet complements the look but he first got the ink when he had no hair at all.
      The keeper suffered from Covid-19 in the summer of 2020 and subsequently lost all of his hair.
      Sosa believes the two were linked and decided to make up for it by decorating his head with the face of a lion.
      He said after getting the tattoo: “I had coronavirus in July and at the end of August my hair started to fall out abruptly.

      “It fell from all parts of my body. I knew it was a sequel to Covid.
      “I only had a few left, so I decided to shave. I’ve always liked lions, that’s why I wanted to tattoo one on the back of my head.”
      Sosa said it did not hurt to have the tattoo done despite taking SEVEN hours to be completed.
      He added: “My tattoo didn’t hurt. When the tattoo artist started I said ‘have you started? Is that all the pain?’

      “If at any time I want my hair to grow back, I’ll cover it and if I want to show it off, I’ll shave it.”
      Sosa was named on the bench for the friendly and so watched on as Uruguay beat Canada 2-0. More
