Did a bird poop on Ashley Young's mouth or was it someone else's spit?

Is it bird poop we are seeing here inside Ashley Young’s mouth during Manchester United’s 1-2 loss to Swansea?

We all know that Ashley Young is perhaps not the most adored footballer among fans, but this hatred towards the winger, presumably from a bird is something of a new level.

During Manchester United’s season opener loss to Swansea at Old Trafford, Young was captured on camera fuming at his team-mates while, what most people are suggesting, when a random chunk of bird poop went straight into his mouth.

EuroSport’s Early Doors gives a staggering explanation of the incident:

“Some people have suggested that rather than spit, it was a nugget of falling bird poo that actually found its way into Young's mouth. Clearly, this is a very important distinction since animal poo, while equally disgusting, is disgusting in a slightly different way to human saliva.”

“However, after consulting several ornithological reference guides we can conclusively state that bird poo is actually brown in colour as it falls through the air - and only takes on its distinctive white look once it has landed and dried.”

That, in tandem with the relatively low speed and 60-degree angle of whatever fell in Young's mouth, strongly suggests that the foreign substance entering the winger's oral cavity was indeed a lump of gob rather than a lump of poo.”

It was highly unlikely that an incident such as this one would not get the attention of the Internet Troll society.
