Man Utd sends Twitter into MELTDOWN over Blind report

Manchester United sent Twitter into meltdown over a tweet claiming Daley Blind would be out for SIX months. United sent out an official Twitter message up-dating injury news after manager Louis van Gaal's regular pre-match press conference.

But they missed out the word 'not' so it looked liked the United boss had said the Dutch international would be facing a six-month lay-off with the knee ligament injury suffered in Sunday's 6-0 win over Latvia.

That sent fans into a panic on social media, prompting Blind to respond to an avalanche of queries by: "Wow, all of a sudden a lot of messages!

"Still working hard guys, but don't worry; I'll be back stronger!"

United later amended their website to make it clear what Van Gaal said.
