“Anyone can be unlucky enough to score an own goal, but how many players have picked up the ball in the opposition’s half, dribbled back across the half-way line and gone on a mazy run around half a dozen bemused team-mates, before letting fly with a thirty-yard screamer into the top left corner of their own net. Sometimes you have to wonder if football’s really on the level”.

I am not an expert on footbal, but if he had picked up the ball, would the referee not have noticed and whistled for handball?. I am easily confused by these things nowadays.

If he was a United player he can do anything he likes. Smaller clubs do have to abide by the rules though.
