(Video) Hilarious Man United social media blunder leaves thousands of fans baffled

Manchester United’s social media guy has had an absolute mare here!

The club’s Instagram account, which has nearly 40m followers, suddenly begun to broadcast live on Wednesday afternoon.

With fans left a little bemused as to why the account had launched a live broadcast, especially when their match against Crystal Palace doesn’t kick-off until 8.15pm (UK time), 37,000 followers quickly joined the stream.

Greeted by nothing more than a black screen, it quickly became apparent to fans that the club’s social media team had accidentally activated the stream.

With the volume turned up – It sounded very much like the worker was in the process of making his lunch.

Oops!
