A post on United's official Facebook page at 19:38 GMT encouraged supporters to buy a fan token called '$REDDEVILS'
Manchester United fans were left baffled on Friday night after the club’s official Instagram and Facebook pages were hit by scam posts promoting a crypto ‘fan token’.
A post on United’s official Facebook page at 19:38 GMT encouraged supporters to buy a fan token called ‘$REDDEVILS’.
In exchange, fans who purchased the token were promised perks including ‘exclusive, limited-edition merchandise’ and ‘VIP fan experiences’.

A message on United’s official Discord channel read: ‘Our Facebook and Instagram accounts have recently been compromised.
