"Manchester United released a statement announcing that captain Bruno Fernandes' social media platform X account was hacked on Sunday evening, after a number of bizarre posts were shared on his page. The Portugal international played all 90 minutes of Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Brighton in the FA Cup. Fernandes' X account, which has 4.5 million followers, was tampered with hours after the game, forcing United to warn fans."
"Some of the false posts, which have since been deleted, focused on United's struggles and criticised INEOS, the company which co-owns United through Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Fernandes' last legitimate post was in October when he celebrated his 300th appearance for the club. Meanwhile, Sunday's loss means United will play just 40 competitive matches this season - the smallest number in 111 years. The Red Devils are working to appoint an interim head coach following Ruben Amorim's sacking last week after 14 months in charge."
