Fan Carves Louis van Gaal and Manuel Pellegrini's Faces into Pumpkins

It is the Manchester derby and Halloween this weekend. That can only mean one thing, right?

Louis van Gaal and Manuel Pellegrini's faces carved into pumpkins!

Simon McMinnis, a Manchester United supporter, is the man behind the pretty spectacular designs. He spent a total of 25 hours on his creations.

He said:

"

I love this time and I’ve carved all sorts of weird and wonderful pumpkins in the past. I’m just hoping that my Van Gaal tribute brings a bit of luck on the pitch for the reds – and they can help Louis carve his way into the Manchester derby history books.

"

McMinnis was challenged to come up with some derby-themed pumpkins by the local ASDA store where he bought them.

People trading manager Julie Feeney said: 

"

Simon is a regular in our store and at this time of year we know he likes to buy our giant carving pumpkins to make his amazing sculptures.

I’m a blue and he’s a red, so given the time of year we challenged him to come up with something for derby day as a bit of banter and I’m well impressed!

I’m not sure what Louis and Manuel will make of their pumpkin look-a-likes but we think they are fantastic and I reckon the Pellegrini pumpkin just edges it in terms of best likeness – so I’m hoping that’s an omen for the result of the match too.

"

Time will tell who wins the match, but we think Simon is certainly a winner with these efforts.
