Soccer Fan Meets The Pope

There's this young boy from Manchester who is going to the Vatican with his family, hoping to see the Pope. The boy is a bit worried about whether or not they will see the Pope amongst the thousands of people. So his mum says "Don't worry, son, the Pope is a big soccer fan and I know he barracks for Manchester United, so wear your United, the Pope will see the famous red and he will stop and talk to you.
The next day, the boy wears his Man Utd shirt whilst they are standing in the crowd as the Pope goes along in his Popemobile. Next thing the Popemobile stops a little further down the street, Pope Francis gets out to talk to a different little boy, who is wearing a Manchester City shirt. Then he gets back into the Popemobile and it drives right past the young United fan, who is very upset and starts crying. 

"Don't worry" says his dad, "The Pope is driving around tomorrow as well, so I'll buy you a Manchester City shirt, we'll come back tomorrow and then he is guaranteed to stop and talk to you."
So they are back in the crowd the next day the little boy is now wearing the Manchester City shirt. The Popemobile comes along and the boy is all excited. As his mum predicted, the Popemobile does stop, right in front of him. Then Pope Francis gets out, walks over to the little boy, bends down to talk to him and says "I thought I told you to 
GET LOST yesterday!"
