Manchester United’s Daley Blind has joined a select band of footballers to have joined the ‘social media fail’ club.

The Netherlands international had been asked to post a picture of himself in his club’s new third top to his Instagram account, but contrived to paste more of the instruction in than was intended.

It should have just read: “Ready for the next match in the new @adidasfootball third shirt! Let’s go!! @manchesterunited #HereToCreate”

But the defender accidentally left in: “Hi mate, would you be ok posting this image on your social channels with the following copy?”

He has since moved to correct the error.
