An 'artistically challenged' couple who recreate football stickers have been told to stop selling drawings of Manchester United players. The club ordered Panini Cheapskates to withdraw their 'wonky drawings', saying the stickers infringed 'intellectual property rights'.Alex and Sian Pratchett, who operate under the Twitter handle @CheapPanini, went viral on social media after sharing their 'terrible' stickers for the 2014 World Cup.
The Oxford couple wrote on Twitter: 'Sad times. Man Utd got in touch and made us stop selling our wonky drawings of their ex-players. If you've ordered one, we'll be in touch.'Though on the plus side, learned a lot about EU trademark directives this morning.'The pair also shared a picture of their version of the club's badge next to the official version as an example.
These are excellent.
Ridiculous from Man U
ManUtd shoot themselves in the foot yet again. Maybe we should all claimngaubst them every time the claim themselves as 'United'
I find the fact man ure have complained about this yet panini haven't incredibly amusing!

What a disappointing reaction by Man Utd...these drawings are great....you could have done a deal - to your charity....very narrow minded.
Ed Woodward is a money grub , was he scared of losing a penny here and there 😡😡😡😡
Why?
Man Utd sucking all the joy out of life as per usual.
I think Panini Cheapskates are playing the Dublin Castle on Thursday, £8/6 concessions......
MysteriousOnesi terrible PR
This is the best thing I’ve ever seen.
Can’t the do what pro evo did for years and sell Manchester Red pictures? Brian Biggs, terry gallister , Ricky nutt?
They not bad
That’s a wee shame! I wonder what the players think. Could be collector items one day...
Can’t wait to see Rio Ferdinand
CheapPanini keep fighting the power 👍🏻
