An English pizza restaurant has poked fun at beleaguered Premier League defenders Manchester United with the lastest addition to their menu.

The Castello Pizzeria, based in Scarborough, has developed the Manchester United calzone (a type of folded pizza), which promises a 'cosmopolitan blend of high-class ingredients', like the United squad, that 'folds under the slightest pressure'.

According to Metro.co.uk, the calzone costs 5.50 pounds, with the menu stating that the amount is a bargain as it is '0.005% of Ashley Young's weekly wages.'

However, United has managed to escape three successive home defeats in a season for the first time in over 50 years by beating Swansea City 2-0 in the Premier League on Saturday.
