Lionel Messi is involved in a sensational new type of transfer as exclusively revealed today. United, long admirers of the Argie Nuisance have known they can't really afford him outright for some time, so have come up with an amazing wage-sharing idea with the noisy neighbours, to fly in the face of new FFP rules. Messi will play half the season for one and half a season for the other. The small problem of Derbies has yet to be resolved, but will probably follow a similar pattern playing a half for each. Post match interviews will also benefit from this, only needing to send one player out to speak for both clubs.
That's another fine messi you have got us into Smart! It's a messi business this football. Make a messi in Manchester not too hard. <run>
I think a better April Fool would be to say Manchester United had the money to buy Messi in the first place...
