Wojciech Szczesny sold himself to Manchester United in FIFA

Wojciech Szczesny plays for Arsenal, but in his game of FIFA, Wojciech Szczcesny plays for Manchester United. That's because Szczesny sold himself to the Red Devils in his game.

(This is when you’re supposed to make up a transfer rumor about how Szczesny is leaving Arsenal for Manchester United in January and if you want to throw in a rift between the goalkeeper and Arsene Wenger, more power to you)

But he really did sell himself. He admitted to it in an interview on Polish TV.

“In other words, I just sold Szczesny,” the actual Szczesny said. ’(I sold him to) Manchester United, following in Tomasz Kuszczak’s footsteps. They offered me £18.5m. I thought ‘I’m going to buy a solid defensive midfielder with that.’”

Maybe Arsenal should make Szczesny the club’s technical director because, seriously, get the Gunners a defensive midfielder.

Of course, Szczesny didn’t even end up using the money on a defensive midfielder. He bought Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

GREAT MOVE. #AllHailZlatan
