Friday's Quote of the Day

"A bit of a coatto" - Frederico Macheda's description of Manchester United team-mate Wayne Rooney.

The 19-year-old striker used the word for "chav" in his native Italian, according to the Sun, although other papers translated it as "a bit working class and vulgar".

Macheda, who was praising Rooney - saying he was a "great person" who always passed on advice - when he used the term, later issued an apology.

"I didn't mean any offence to Wayne for whom I have the utmost admiration and respect. All I meant is he is down-to-earth and friendly," he said.
