It's just over a day now since the long-running David De Gea transfer saga finally came to the most unexpected conclusion.
Who would have thought one of the richest clubs in the world wouldn't have the technology to send a simple form through the internet to reach a club in Spain?
De Gea's transfer to Real Madrid reportedly fell through after the English side sent a form to the La Liga outfit that was in an incompatible format, widely reported to be only accessible via Windows 95.
Both clubs eventually ended up blaming each other, and now what either is very unfortunate timing or someone getting on the phone to their local computer store, the club today have revealed an upgrade of their IT systems.

According to a club statement, the new deal is expected to bring a new social media experience for fans.
That at least might be a change for the club that have been mercilessly trolled after the details of the De Gea saga were revealed over the last 48 hours,
"Manchester United will explore revolutionary ways in which the club uses technology to create a unified fan experience for supporters; and in the process set a new engagement benchmark in the world of sport."H/T Telegraph
