BBC viewers were left in hysterics after an intern wrote "Manchester United are rubbish" on the ticker of their live news channel.
The message appeared on TV screens at 9.35am on Tuesday morning – before being sprawled across social media moments later.
The BBC anchor was then forced to apologise for the mishap two hours later.
She said: "Ever so sorry, but we have a new intern training how to use the ticker.
"They did not mean to publish ‘Manchester United are rubbish’, and we are deeply sorry."
Reacting to the mishap on social media, one person wrote: "Pep [Guardiola] starting his summer job 🤣🤣🤣🤣."

Speaking about the situation, he told the Man Utd website: "[We must] accept the current situation but also know one year ago, this club was second in the Premier League.
"There’s potential and now it’s up to us to get that out. It’s a process, it will take time, but I’m convinced we will come to that point where we get success.
"We have to work hard and it has to be based on the right philosophy and strategy.
"In certain positions we want to renew the squad, but as I said, one year ago, this squad was second in the league, so there is potential and I’m really looking forward to co-operating with the squad.
"I have to build, starting a new relationship with the squad, with my players.
" I have high expectations from myself and that is also what I demand from my squad.
"They have to co-operate together and they have to give every day their best. And I would say, for me, good is not good enough. We have to do better.”
