Manchester United's banter tweet backfires after embarrassing Palace defeat

Manchester United has been left embarrassed after a social media post at the expense of Chelsea backfired following their heart-stopping 2-1defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Using their official Twitter account, the Red Devils incorrectly tagged a pre-game post with the #MUNCHE hashtag from their opening weekend match against the Blues.

Once their mistake was realised, a tweet with the correct hashtag was sent out with a strong back-hander delivered to Frank Lampard's team - who they beat 4-0 at the Theatre of Dreams.
