Major sporting organisations have a pretty patchy record when it comes to social media over the years and Manchester United’s Twitter account hasn’t exactly covered itself in glory at times. Last night, they were highlighting the contributions that some of the squad made on international duty, including Marouane Fellaini, whose Belgium side secured Euro 2016 qualification with a win over Andorra. https://twitter.com/ManUtd/status/652946474578378752 Now we’re well aware of the fact that they were congratulating him on his role in the entire qualifying campaign, but most Twitter users were quick to jump on the ‘unused sub’ aspect of last night’s post. https://twitter.com/TheTeamForMe/status/652946670410465280 https://twitter.com/dmf180593/status/652946690010423296 https://twitter.com/R9acm/status/652960809639776256 https://twitter.com/supaabzz/status/652946520602509312 https://twitter.com/MHMD_MUFC/status/652946671861633024 Twitter can be a cruel, cruel place at times.
