The English Football Association (FA) has apologised to Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur for sending a tweet which mocked Spurs striker Harry Kane during Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final.
The FA Cup’s official Twitter account sent a tweet with United defender Chris Smalling being asked “What’s in your pocket?” and included a short, unrelated clip of the centre-back saying “Harry Kane”.
The tweet received thousands of likes and retweets but has since been deleted.
“We have written to both clubs to apologise for any offence caused,” an FA spokesperson told British media.
