Whether he intends to be or not, Steve McClaren is pure comedy gold.
From the bizarre Dutch accent he acquired when coaching FC Twente to his hard-to-watch reaction to Iceland's winning goal against England at the Euros, the man rarely fails to bring a smile to people's faces.
Appearing on Sky Sports News on Thursday morning, McClaren didn't disappoint when asked who he felt would win the Premier League title this season.
The former England boss tipped Manchester United to come out on top, but his onomatopoeic explanation as to why they would take Leicester's title went down a treat with viewers.

We make that a grand total of four booms and six bangs within the space of twenty seconds. The sight of Trevor Sinclair fighting back laughter says it all, doesn't it?

McClaren was sacked by Newcastle United last March after a run of poor form for the northeast club all but sealed their relegation to the Championship.
Since then, the former England manager - who has also coached Middlesbrough, Wolfsburg, Nottingham Forest and Derby - has been out of football management, appearing regularly on Sky Sports News.
Judging by this, football management's loss is most definitely football punditry's gain.
Boom.
