Winning a trophy is a time to celebrate, to savour the sweet feeling of victory – and, of course, to taunt your rivals.

If the throne reference seemed obscure, it’s because this was United’s 44th piece of major silverware, putting them level with the Reds.

Even United fans didn’t seem that impressed.

Maybe just stick to the celebrations next time, Chris.
