Daley Blind makes huge gaffe on Instagram with post about the new Manchester United third kit

Dutch defender asked by representative to post message... but his copy and pasting went horribly wrong

THE old curse of copying and pasting has struck again with Manchester United star Daley Blind the latest victim.

The Dutch defender was ridiculed after posting a snap on Instagram on Tuesday – and he scored a massive own goal.

Defender Blind was the man chosen to model the Red Devils’ brand spanking new third kit.

He was asked to update his Instagram with a picture of him wearing the grey number.

The PR-filled caption that was sent to him was quickly copied and uploaded for the world to see… but the 27-year-old made an almighty error.

He forgot to delete his representative’s request.

And that led to the caption reading: “Hi mate, would you be ok posting this image on your social channels with the following copy?

“Ready for the next match in the new @adidasfootball third shirt! Let's go!! @manchesterunited #HereToCreate.”

Supporters were quick to point out his mistake, leading to him quickly deleting the post and reloading it correctly.

Then Sunderland striker Victor Anichebe was the first Premier League ace to make the gaffe.

He was asked to tweet following a loss but copy and pasted the full message.

He wrote: “Can you tweet something like:

“Unbelievable support yesterday and great effort by the lads! Hard result to take! But we go again!”

And Christian Benteke suffered a similar fate he failed to delete the word “caption” from an Instagram post after celebrating a goal towards the end of last season.
