Kayla's Salute: Manchester United

I love football as much as the next guy, but at the base level, I'm still a woman. I appreciate the after-game shirt exchange just as much as the game itself. Kayla's salute is a recurring piece spotlighting the best footballers that also happen to be the best looking.  With the first few weeks behind us in the EPL season, one season has been invincible force that has annihilated the competition. Have we really come to expect anything else from Sir Ferg & Co.? Of course not.

No matter your opinion of the squad, you have to respect Manchester United. Always a tough opponent no matter who they play, Manchester United racked up their 19th league title for the 2010-2011 season and are well on their way to another with their amazing start to this 2011-2012 season. With all wins thus far, Manchester United's most recent outing served Bolton Wanderers with an embarassing 5-0 loss, as a result of a brace from Chicharito and a hat trick from Wayne "Must Be the Hair Plugs" Rooney.


If they keep this up, Manchester United are well on their way to their 20th title, the 12th for Sir Alex Ferguson. There's plenty of season left to play so it's anyone's title (well, realistically, it's up for grabs for four clubs but that's neither here nor there).

Although the whole "gimmick" of this weekly post is saluting outstanding players that are good looking, one might argue this cannot be said about all of Manchester United players. But at the very least, Wazza cleans up pretty nice, no?
