Manchester United defender Chris Smalling apologized after a photo surfaced of him wearing a suicide bomber costume at a costume party. The image depicted Smalling in oriental clothing with electrical cables, a telephone, and a battery connected to a printed circuit. The player’s management company, Wasserman Media Group, issued a statement expressing Smalling’s regret, stating that he didn’t intend to cause any offense and that the costume was meant to parody a scene promoting a drink known as “Jagerbomb.” The footballer apologized for the poor choice of costume, emphasizing that it was part of an intimate costume party to celebrate Christmas and birthdays.
