Whoever runs Manchester United’s Twitter account learned a valuable lesson about choosing your words carefully on Sunday.
Another #mufc star has helped his country reach Euro 2016 – congratulations to @Fellaini, who was an unused sub in Belgium's win in Andorra.

On Saturday night, Belgium secured their place at Euro 2016 with a 4-1 win in Andorra.
With Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini scoring some crucial goals during Belgium’s successful qualification campaign, the club decided to offer their congratulations to the afro-haired footballer.
However, United’s hordes of Twitter followers were quick to call out the club on their wording of the tweet, namely the fact that they were congratulating a man who didn’t play a minute in the match as he was an unused substitute.
@ManUtd @Fellaini So then he didn't help…

@ManUtd @Fellaini Helped them by not coming on *that real hero song from Drive starts playing over a collage of Fellaini on the bench"
