The Manchester United defender has been fully vegan since 2017. But he admits there are certain parts of the game he still has to accept despite going against his beliefs. He reckons veganism is becoming increasingly popular at Manchester United's Carrington HQ too, where the vegan meatballs are a hit. “There are so many sources of protein for vegans – tofu, chickpeas, lentils, quinoa, tempeh, seeds and broad beans. “I still have a couple of protein shakes a day, though just vegan ones now.”
