Manchester United star Jesse Lingard apologises after media team member tweets from his account during Munich air disaster service

Manchester United star Jesse Lingard has apologised for 'any upset caused' after a tweet was mistakenly sent from his account during Tuesday's Munich air disaster memorial service.

The England midfielder was present at the Old Trafford service, commemorating the 60th anniversary of the crash which killed 23 people, including eight players.

But just three minutes after a minute's silence was held during the service, a tweet was sent from his account in reply to a question over when he and team-mate Marcus Rashford were going to play FIFA 18.
