Manchester United delete social media update about Erik ten Hag's success with Ajax in the Eredivisie title race... as angry fans berate Twitter post after their dismal Premier League season hit new low with Brighton loss

Manchester United were forced to delete a social media post about new manager Erik ten Hag on Monday in the face of a backlash from angry fans.

United linked the tweet to a story on the club website praising Ten Hag for keeping Ajax four points clear of rivals PSV Eindhoven in the Dutch title race.

It read: 'Erik ten Hag's side maintained their advantage in a dramatic afternoon in the race for the Eredivisie title.'
