Barcelona win at Old Trafford... but is Suarez fat?

Barcelona were far from at their best against United, but managed to win 1-0 thanks to Luke Shaw's own goal from Luis Suarez's header.

But was the 32-year-old Uruguayan carrying a little extra weight?

French football writer Julien Laurens said: "How much weight has he put on? It's unbelievable.

"I hadn't realised from watching his games on TV - it was the first time I've seen him live this season. I can't believe how fat he is. I don't know how at a club like that you allow a player to let himself go so much."

Spanish journalist Guillem Balague countered: "It's strong muscle. I was with him a month and a half ago at an interview. Close up, he doesn't look that big. He just looks like he's put muscle on.

"He's carrying a knee injury so has to develop muscles around his leg. He looked like a strong man, not a fat man. But he struggles with weight every season."
