But now it can be revealed just how fond the Insurance agent is of waving cards around after it emerged the 36-year-old has not refereed a single game without booking someone all year.

He has shown an incredible 36 yellow cards and three reds in just eight club games since mid-January.

Only on Saturday, in his last domestic game before travelling to Manchester, Cakir showed six yellow cards in a game between Akhisar Beledi and Elazigspor in Turkey.


A week earlier, meanwhile, he booked five players and sent one off in Gaziantepspor’s win over Bursaspor.

It also emerged last night that Cakir follows both Real Madrid and star player Cristiano Ronaldo on Twitter.

I think I share your sentiment. The same thing I said to my colleagues @ wk this morning. Dont be surprise if the game between AC Milan and Barca shows the same sign of bias.

Anyway, it is football. It makes it painful and competitive sometimes. Man UTD fans should take it easy and get on with it.

God help him and his low level of officiating.

AC Milan should start practicing how to play with 10 men; because when the going gets tough, UEFA may decide to take 'drastic' action.

The level of ignorance on this site is amusing... The referee us also following Leo Messi and Barcelona!!! Common people
