It has not been Man United’s best season.

Though they’ve still got a chance at silverware in this weekend’s FA Cup Final, it’s safe to say that Louis Van Gaal have suffered a disappointing year of football as they failed to qualify for Champions League football next season.

With that in mind, they probably could have done without venturing from the deflating to the downright absurd in their partnership with X-Men: Apocalypse.

A new trailer for the film sees United forward Wayne Rooney join the X-Men thanks to his, um, “focus” and “intensity” (which really seems like a polite way of saying “Wayne Rooney doesn’t have that many great attributes anymore”).

The results are, well, you can see for yourself:
