FA apologises to Manchester United and Tottenham HotspurTuesday, April 24th 2018 at 18:16 GMT +3 | Football By Reuters:FA Cup Semi-Final - Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur - Wembley Stadium, London, Britain - April 21, 2018 Manchester United's Chris Smalling in action with Tottenham's Harry Kane Action Images via ReutersThe 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”. “We have written to both clubs to apologise for any offence caused,” an FA spokesperson told British media. Kane, who has scored 37 goals in 44 appearances across all competitions for Spurs this season, struggled to impose himself as Tottenham lost 2-1 to United at Wembley. United will face Chelsea, who beat Southampton 2-0 on Sunday, in the FA Cup final on May 19.
