I never knew the current Olympic Long Jump champion had trials with the Villa. Shame he now supports Yannited.

He has just broken the British record in the US - but it might not be recognised - there are several things wrong with the way the jump was judged and measured.

In fairness, he is from Milton Keynes. So pretty close to Old Trafford by their fans' standards.

Thought he wore villa socks when jumping?
