It's almost too easy. Why would a Manchester United footballer - not the most popular creature on earth - take to the mic and release a single called 'Outstanding'? The fact that Andy Cole has a reputation among opposing fans of being less than outstanding on the pitch only adds to the irony. But hey, this is a record and we should stick to reviewing the music. Well, he can't rap for a start. 'Outstanding' is an unremarkable garage track with some Will Smith-esque backing vocals and shockingly laughable lyrics - "can I kick it..." oh please.
