Manchester United tweet about Ajax draw goes down predictably badly

Probably not the best timing from United

Manchester United supporters have reacted angrily to a now-deleted tweet about incoming manager Erik ten Hag's title hunt at Ajax. The Red Devils posted an update on Ajax's quest to become Eredivisie champions for the 36th time, tweeting about the Dutch outfit's 2-2 draw away at AZ Alkmaar at the weekend. Brian Brobbey and Edson Álvarez both got on the scoresheet for Ajax, but Ten Hag's side were held to a draw at AFAS stadium.

United quickly deleted the post

The post, which included a link to the club's official website, read: "Erik ten Hag's side maintained their advantage in a dramatic afternoon in the race for the Eredivisie title". It has since been deleted following backlash from fans. https://twitter.com/Omojuwa/status/1523662161197027334 Given that the tweet came just two days after United were thrashed 4-0 at Brighton, Red Devils fans were understandably unhappy with the post. One user wrote: "So the club’s now celebrating Ajax’s success because we have none?" https://twitter.com/RishMUFC/status/1523642146003484672 Another added: "10 years without a league title 15 years without a Champions League 6 years without a single trophy... But @ManUtd admin thought we will be interested in Ajax title chance". https://twitter.com/Sourav_Mufc/status/1523653031539081217

A third said: "Tacky and shameless. Ajax have their own page, it's none of our business what's happening there."
