United recently played a friendly in Australia in front of a sell-out 83,127 crowd at the ANZ Stadium but it turns out the real drama took place off the pitch. Just 20 mins before kick-off the match was on brink of cancellation as United were refusing to take to the pitch as long as the stadium's giant screens were flashing up ads for Coca-Cola. This was unacceptable as United were on the brink of signing a multi-million pound deal with Pepsi in the region.
