Over time, the players started ignoring the rule, complaining that they should be allowed to think for themselves (though the story of one player asking United’s chef to hard-boil him a couple of eggs to take home, on the basis he did not know how to do it himself, suggests that maybe some members of the squad do need coddling).

Yep, one of those highly-paid men at Manchester United has not sufficiently developed as a human being to learn the intricate skill of boiling an egg. Eggs can, admittedly, be treacherous things: former Rangers player Kirk Broadfoot missed time through injury having been scalded while attempting to poach an egg.
