BT Sport's Jake Humphrey shows off Man Utd's dismal lunch offering to stun fans

Jake Humphrey was hosting BT Sport's coverage of Manchester United's 1-1 draw with Southampton and was left unimpressed after the Red Devils' lunch offering while in the studio

Jake Humphrey mocked Manchester United on Twitter for their offering of lunch during the Red Devils' 1-1 draw with Southampton.

Humphrey was hosting BT Sport 's coverage of the match and was served scrambled egg and mashed potato shortly after the lunchtime Premier League match had got underway.

10 minutes after kick-off, the presenter took to social media to share a photograph of what United had given him to eat whilst he and pundits Paul Scholes and Glenn Hoddle watched the end-to-end first half.

Humphrey was less than impressed with his meal, an unusual combination which included a breakfast muffin, tweeting: "Scrambled egg and mashed potato. Wow. Thanks for lunch @ManUtd," accompanied by a laughing emoji.

Just five minutes later, the BT Sport host and Norwich City supporter, replied to his own tweet to show the difference between what he received at Old Trafford and at Manchester City 's Etihad Stadium.

The image showed Humphrey, as well as former City stars Joleon Lescott and Richard Dunne, being supplied with plates of chips and fresh sandwiches.

In his second tweet, Humphrey stated: "PS - How your neighbours do it," along with an emoji with its tongue sticking out.

Fans were in agreement, with one's cutting verdict being: "That's one of the worst things I've ever seen."

And added: "Is that even a thing?! Mash and scrambled egg? Haha."

The Red Devils took the lead in the 21st minute through Jadon Sancho to have much of Old Trafford rocking.

It was the winger's first Premier League goal on home turf since his £73million transfer last summer.

Sancho was able to tap in after Marcus Rashford broke away before found himself on the right-hand side of the penalty area and squared the ball.

Southampton defender Kyle Walker-Peters managed to get a slight deflection on Sancho's shot but could not prevent United from taking a 1-0 lead.

Both teams had chances before half-time, with the Saints threatening to equalise by constantly testing David de Gea.

Just three minutes into the second half, Ralph Hasenhuttl 's men were back on level terms and it would stay that way until the final whistle.

Che Adams was the goalscorer, slotting home past De Gea after good work build-up play from Southampton leading to Mohamed Elyounoussi sliding the Scotland international through.

The action continued throughout the remainder of the game and Ralf Rangnick 's men though they had regained the advantage late on when Cristiano Ronaldo connected with a Bruno Fernandes free-kick.

But the linesman quickly flagged for offside, with Ronaldo's starting position clearly an illegal one to leave most of Old Trafford moaning and groaning leaving the ground.
