Had me until this part:

"#MUFC now have deal in place to secure England left-back’s long-term future at Old Trafford."

I like how you got past the post and into the tweet before you realised.

Manchester United Surprise Fans by Triggering Extensions for Shaw, Lindelof, and Casemiro


In an unexpected move, Manchester United have activated the one-year contract extensions for Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof, and Casemiro.


Despite lengthy injury layoffs for both Shaw and Lindelof, and ongoing speculation linking Casemiro with a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League, United’s new manager, Rúben Amorim, and co-owner Jim Ratcliffe have prioritised squad stability as a foundation for rebuilding the team.


Shaw and Lindelof, sidelined for significant parts of the season, had faced uncertainty about their futures at the club, making this announcement somewhat surprising. Casemiro, who struggled for consistent form earlier in the campaign but has regained prominence recently, was widely expected to depart in the upcoming transfer window.


Club insiders indicate the decision aligns with Amorim’s strategy of blending experienced heads with emerging young talents, as United look to regain competitiveness domestically and in Europe.

Fools Day should be a different day each year.

We could elect a panel of date pickers and they'd announce it at 4am on the day of choosing. Then whoever is up earliest can fool properly without it being so obvious.

Well played sir. You had me fooled. I was genuinely annoyed thinking it was true until I clicked the link and read the other posts.

Thought it was someone bumping some old news thread, then realised it's April 1st still a decent try

I’m not going to lie, the first 3 sentences had me absolutely seething. Then I copped on.

I presumed it was a year old!

Weak attempt.
