LUXURY: The £2million house was snapped up by the footballer [PH]
“When he does appear he always has his fur anorak over his head as if he doesn’t want to be spotted”

The Manchester United player – who signed from Everton for £27.5million – has flopped on the pitch this season but scored a winner with this seven-bedroom pad.
And the midfielder won’t have to travel far if he ever decides to get his trademark mop trimmed – there are three hairdressers just 200 yards away.
The house – on the edge of woodland in an upmarket area of Manchester – was once home to another Everton star, England World Cup winner Alan Ball.
It has a home cinema, a heated indoor swimming pool and a gym.
The Belgian international, 26, is thought to have a couple of pals living with him as he begins to build his United career.

He is living a bachelor life after splitting from his long-term girlfriend, top Belgian model Lara Binet, shortly after signing for the Premier League champions.
A neighbour said: “It’s a beautiful house but he hasn’t been seen much at all.
“When he does appear he always has his fur anorak over his head as if he doesn’t want to be spotted.
“It is a very quiet area and the village only has a few shops – three hairdressers, a butcher, a local village store and post office and a beauty salon.”
United legend Ryan Giggs, 40, who also lives in the area, has called in to see his team mate and invited him to his restaurant Georges, which opened last year in Worsley.
