Football's best April Fools' Day jokes: Man United qualify for the Club World Cup, Premier League to hand promoted clubs a three-point head-start... and Chris Kamara's long-lost sister!

April Fools' Day jokes dominated social media on Tuesday morning, with some fans taking the opportunity to poke fun at Manchester United.

It has been a dire season for the Red Devils, who currently find themselves down in 13th place in the Premier League table.

They look set to miss out on European football altogether, and have not come close to winning the Champions League since losing in the final to Barcelona back in 2011.

With this in mind, they did not meet the criteria to compete in this summer's expanded Club World Cup, but one X account joked on Tuesday morning that they'd received a late call-up.
