West Brom tweet backfires

Cape Town - Marouane Fellaini silenced a few of his critics last night scoring for Manchester United in a 2-2 draw but most importantly he left egg on the face of the West Bromwich Albion's official twitter feed.

The Belgian midfielder who has had a torrid time since his move from Everton last season, equalised for Louis Van Gaal's men after replacing Ander Herrera.

But before Fellaini could make his way onto the pitch, West Brom tweeted, "Fellaini has now taken his tracksuit off, fortunately he has a Man Utd strip on underneath."

The tweet went viral and will surely serve as reminder to whoever handles the account to steer clear of tweets of this nature.
The match finished 2-2 , leaving United in sixth place with 12 points after 8 matches.

No! I think the smart thing to do is start again with a younger skipper ...

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
