FANATICAL Reds supporter Sean Wright was delighted when he received a Liverpool FC selection box for Christmas.[LNB]But the 12-year-old's excitement turned to dismay when he opened it to find a bag of sweets branded with the name of arch-rivals Manchester United.[LNB]Dad-of-three Chris Wright, of Bootle, ordered a selection box for each of his sons from the LFC online store.[LNB]And while the ones opened by younger boys, Joe, nine, and Callum, five, were as advertised, the one given to Sean contained a rogue packet of Red Devil jelly babies.[LNB]Sean said: 'I really felt annoyed when I opened the selection box. I love Liverpool and don't like Man United at all. I don't know why there was a packet of Man United jelly beans in a Liverpool selection box. It just seems a bit stupid to me.[LNB]'I had a great Christmas and got a Wii and some games, a new Liverpool kit and a Liverpool tracksuit. And me and my brothers went to the match on Boxing Day.[LNB]'Getting the Man United sweets wasn't what I wanted. But everything else about Christmas was really good. We had a laugh about it later. But I just don't know why they were in there in the first place.'
