14 DAY TRIAL // The official Twitter account of the Manchester United football club was hacked last week apparently by one of the many fans displeased with the work of David Moyes, the team’s manager since July 2013. Manchester United has over 1.5 million followers on Twitter.
Manchester United fans became particularly upset with Moyes after the team lost to Everton last week. A couple of days later, someone managed to hijack the @ManUtd Twitter account and posted the hashtag #MoyesOut.
The message was retweeted by hundreds of users before being deleted by the account’s administrators.
Manchester United hasn’t made any statement regarding the incident.
It’s worth noting that one day after the Twitter hack, Manchester United lost a home game to Newcastle for the first time in 41 years.
