Man Utd fanzine "Red Issue" criticised for Muamba cover

Manchester United fanzine Red Issue has been criticised over it's controversial cover showing Bolton Wanderers player Fabrice Muamba on the pitch following a cardiac arrest he suffered while playing at White Hart Lane.

The cover mocks the outpouring of support and grief over the players sudden collapse, from which he is making a good recovery.

Outrage at the fanzine has been expressed on Twitter with users calling the poor taste cover "filth", "disgusting", "horrid and completely disrespectful".

This is not the first time Red Issue has caused controversy. In February police seized copies of the magazine which had a cut out KKK mask with the words "Suarez is innocent" on the cover.


The latest controversial issue was on sale outside the Man Utd game on Monday.
