Whoever runs Manchester City’s Twitter account may be one of the most despised club villains after sending one-word, one-hashtag tweet on Firday.
Ahead of City’s Premier League clash against West Bromwich at the Hawthorns on Saturday, Leroy Sane sent a very enthusiastic tweet.
The German youngster was clearly pumped for the big game and wanted the world to know his side would be aiming get back in the win column following their cup loss to Manchester United on Wednesday.
Sane didn’t tag his club in the tweet, he didn’t really phrase in the way that it would warrant a response, but that didn’t stop City from finding it, replying and causing their hordes of followers online to cringe.

Creepy, right?
The trend of referring to celebrities as mom, dad or any parental variation is as old as the internet itself, but it broke through to the mainstream when New Zealand pop singer Lorde tweeted it in response to one of Kim Kardashian West’s attempts to break the internet.

As you can imagine, there’s not a lot of crossover between football fans and people like Lorde.
Therefore you can probably already guess that the reaction has been one of embarrassment from City supporters.
And that, interns, is how you don't manage an official account @ManCity @LeroySane19
