This is why football clubs should never attempt banter. Ever.
On Christmas Day of all days, Manchester United’s official Twitter account tried to board the banterbus, destination Lolsville, but instead they were quite rightly lambasted for their shocking efforts.
A Twitter user, quite fittingly called @KillingJoke, asked the club account the random question ‘Batman or Superman?’ – what followed was a response so tepid and weak in any form of humour that it had grown men weeping into their cold turkey.
@KiIlingJoke There's only one Man… United

‘There’s only one Man… United,’ was the response.
See, that was even painful for us to quote just then. It’s not even a joke. It’s an insult to every value we hold dear as a nation. It’s an abomination.
A travesty. And many agree.
