The Manchester United captain and team-mates including Bastian Schweinsteiger feature in an unexpected crossover with the Hollywood actor's upcoming superhero film
Are Ryan Reynolds and Wayne Rooney the next celebrity power couple? Well, maybe not, but one can always dream...
The two do share a touching moment, though, in the latest teaser trailer for Reynolds's new film, Deadpool, in which he stars as the 'merc with a mouth' from the Marvel comics canon.
The teaser shows Deadpool enjoying the kind of dream which all of us have had often enough before, taking part in a tense penalty shootout, while accompanied by the Manchester United side.
How serendipitous that the club already have an association with the film's producers, 20th Century Fox. That super-suit just wouldn't quite work if his sponsors had hooked him up with Norwich City instead.
