Manchester United’s Instagram and Facebook pages hacked to promote crypto scam

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’.

The same post on United’s official Instagram account was deleted, however, the post on Facebook was still viewable on the club’s page as of 23:00 GMT on Friday evening.

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