So much for behind closed doors! Streaker runs on the pitch during Manchester United's Europa League win over Granada... despite fans not being allowed into the stadium to watch the quarter-final clash

Fans might still not be allowed into stadiums due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but this didn't get in the way of one man's urge to streak during a football match.

The bizarre incident took place during Manchester United's first leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie against LaLiga side Granada.

With just five minutes on the clock, a man sporting a long beard and wild curly hair, spread his arms out as he ran across the field naked.
