When it comes to getting over the disappointment of dropping points at home to Burnley, nothing hits the spot for Manchester United fans quite like the news that their club has secured its first ever official mattress and pillow partner.

On Monday afternoon, not even 48 hours after United's players had managed not to score from any of their 37 shots against Sean Dyche's side, that's exactly what the 20-time winners of England's top flight were able to tell the world. Their new deal with Milly provides mattresses and pillows for United's players to lie awake on at night, wondering how they managed to squander so many chances sleep on, helping their preparation for and recovery from matches. https://twitter.com/danroan/status/793095070933250049 As is always the case with this sort of thing, it wasn't long before news of the deal reached the masses and jokes were being made. The fact it came on the same day that Gareth Bale tied up a new contract with Real Madrid wasn't lost on many. https://twitter.com/CrossyDailyStar/status/793087912715976704 There was this (fake) endorsement from Bastian Schweinsteiger, a man that has had more than his fair share of lying around waiting in preparation for his next match. https://twitter.com/WeahsCousin/status/793073742247329792 And just about every one else was making the exact same joke... https://twitter.com/FrankJPCostello/status/793074246142525442 https://twitter.com/ThatChris1209/status/793066810442649600 https://twitter.com/Nadim_UTD/status/793061432824893442 You get the idea...
