Manchester United's executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward, was given a 'wet willy' in a Kazakhstan bar ahead of the club's Europa League clash with Astana.
Woodward was enjoying a drink prior to the game when he was approached by a fan who lured him into conversation before inserting a finger in his ear.
Woodward appeared to take the prank well and responded by laughing at the supporters before continuing to socialise with the rest of his group.
The 48-year-old has endured a fractious relationship with United fans who have blamed the club's struggles in recent years on his lack of leadership.
Woodward has been accused of failing to sign the right players in the transfer market, while his knowledge of the game has also been questioned by fans.
He was criticised on social media on Sunday following United's 3-3 draw with Sheffield United after pictures emerged of him having an animated chat with Sir Alex Ferguson.
Supporters suggested Woodward was having an argument with the club's legendary former boss but those claims appeared wide of the mark as further pictures showed them laughing shortly after.
Woodward is in Kazakhstan ahead of United's final Europa League group stage game against Astana, with the club already assured of their place in the last-32.
United went on to lose 2-1 with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fielding several debutants ahead of the club's Premier League fixture with Aston Villa on Sunday.
