CRAIG MORGAN was on the receiving end of a bit of unfortunate timing in the tunnel ahead of Wigan Athletic’s match with Manchester United.
The Latics captain was in the wrong place at the wrong time as he lined up alongside Jose Mourinho’s men at the DW Stadium.
United goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, 23, was holding two water bottles under his arm as the players lined up.
The goalkeeper, who is yet to make his first-team goalkeeper, then accidentally squeezes the bottles under his arm – causing one of them to burst right in the face of Morgan.
The Wigan skipper and former Wales international saw the funny side – as did other players in the tunnel.
Johnstone, who has spent time on loan at six Football League clubs, later apologised on Instagram.
Posting the video, he wrote: “My bad” along with laughing faces.
The video has been seen more than 100,000 times.
Johnstone played 82 minutes as Mourinho’s men secured a comfortable 2-0 win in the Portuguese’s first game in charge.
Will Keane and Andreas Pereira scored the goals, while Eric Bailly and Henrikh Mkhitaryan were seen for the first time in United colours after big-money summer moves.
Luke Shaw also made his return after nine months on the sideline following his leg break.
