Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin managed to wear a Gucci headband against Manchester United on Sunday at St James’ Park.

The former Nice winger made a name for himself in France by wearing the £180 accessory as he dazzled in Ligue 1.

However, owing to various contractual regulations with sponsors and the Premier League, the 22-year-old was forced to wear a sticker over the logo.

Saint-Maximin hardly needed to draw any more attention to himself on Sunday afternoon, with the Frenchman dazzling with the ball at his feet at any opportunity.

The winger averaged 13.75 dribbles per 90 minute last season, posting a higher success rate than Lionel Messi and Eden Hazard, among other big names.

And manager Steve Bruce predicted the starlet would excite Premier League audiences after he completed his £16.5million move back in August.

"I'm delighted to bring Allan to St. James' Park. He is a very talented young player with a big future ahead of him." he said.

"He has all the attributes you would want in an attacking player, including lightning pace, so I'm sure he'll excite everybody.

"He is a great addition to Newcastle United and the Premier League."

We’re letting a bloke wearing a Gucci headband embarrass us...
