Nicklas Bendtner uses bra to protect manhood in Instagram photo

Former Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner is known for his off-field antics and could cause quite a stir after he posted an image of himself almost fully naked.

The Dane, who is searching for a new club after being released by the Gunners at the end of last season, uploaded an image of himself sunbathing nude with just a bra covering his manhood.

Alongside the image, Bendtner posted the message: "Remember to protect yourself against the sun."

The 26-year-old was thought to be closing in on a move to Eintracht Frankfurt, but the German club have pulled out of the deal.
