Before the 'feckin Dublin media calling us culchies' hate mail starts to roll down the hills from the countryside surrounding the pale we would like to point out that at any time of the day, the Balls office resembles something along the lines of the Muff fair (look it up) in terms of solid agricultural breeding.
Now that our culchie stock has been asserted beyond all doubt, we can happily report that Man United are so hard-up for their desire to ring some cash out of every available opportunity that they've signed a deal with Yanmar to provide fans everywhere the opportunity to show their love of the club with a Man United branded tractor.

Embarrassing new levels of club tat nonsense indeed.
The unfortunate news for Irish fans is that the tractor won't actually be available in your local agricultural supply store. The 51hp output EF514MU tractor models will be available in the Thai market only.
Ken Araki, Yanmar Holdings sports marketing group general manager, explained why the 'Manchester United collaboration tractor' is becoming a reality.
Thailand is the most important market for Yanmar and the best way to deliver our strong message to make people’s lives more affluent in Thailand is to collaborate with Manchester United.
As a result of our discussion over two years, we are finally able to announce the Manchester United collaboration tractor.
If that wasn't enough, here's Dwight Yorke sitting on said tractor to prove that the club are really getting behind the idea.
