“*cough cough* shithole *cough cough*”
David De Gea’s significant other has dropped him right in it with a few choice comments about his adopted city that are unlikely to go down too well with the Manchester Tourist Board.
Utilising a wonderful turn of phrase, Edurne Garcia, a pop singer who is currently gearing up to represent Spain at the Eurovision song contest by trade, told Spanish television that Manchester is “uglier than the back of a fridge”.
Appearing on variety show El Hormiguero, host Pablo Motos asked Garcia about her trips to Manchester to visit De Gea, to which she replied:
“I’d been told Manchester is uglier than the back of a fridge.”
“It’s not very nice, that’s for sure – you have to hunt out specific places, the nicer places.
“But even then Spain is nicer. The reason I like it is because David’s there.
“With him being there, everything looks wonderful.”
Pah, what does she know?
Oh well, could be worse – could be Wigan.
