Victor Lindelof's wife once labelled the prices of a VIP box at Old Trafford as "disgusting" before claiming a player is considered a "loser" if they don't buy one.
Swedish blogger and marketing expert Maja Nilsson Lindelof has visited the Theatre of Dreams on numerous occasions since her husband joined the club from Benfica for £30.7 million in the summer of 2017.
And in the early days of Lindelof's stay in Manchester, 28-year-old Maja gave a fascinating insight into the pressure players are supposedly under to buy or rent boxes at Old Trafford.
If you want to splash the cash on a box at Old Trafford, the prices range from between £24,000 and £81,600 a season to hire, according to the Daily Star.

And while appearing on Swedish podcast Livet Pa Laktaren, Maja did not hold back while giving her assessment of the "disgusting" amount you have to pay to buy one.
"The situation has changed for us since moving to Manchester," she said.
"Here the players have the option to rent a box and I’m not even going to tell you for how much but a disgusting amount of money. And if you don’t buy one you’re considered to be a loser.
"But having a box is wonderful because you have your own waiter."
