No Manchester Utd players on social networks
Manchester United has announced its players do not belong to any online networks, and advised users to treat with “extreme scepticism” any profiles in the names of its players.

The BBC reports that a spokesman for the club said it had not stopped players from using the networks, but had advised its players, especially the younger ones, to be careful.

At least three players at the club are believed to have had genuine Twitter accounts which have now been closed – Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs and Darren Fletcher. There are many more accounts across the popular networks claiming to be top football players. A player at English Premier League club Sunderland, Darren Bent, got into trouble last year after using Twitter to complain about transfer negotiations with his former club, Tottenham.
