Man United's 'Wembley' tweet IMMEDIATELY after rivals City lose on penalties

Manchester United's 'Wembley' tweet immediately after Man City lost on penalties had fans in stitches on Wednesday night.

Real Madrid beat Pep Guardiola's side 4-3 on penalties to end Man City's hopes of winning back-to-back Champions League trophies.

The execution of the standard social media post was heralded by supporters of the Red Devils.

One United fan wrote: 'why you posting this now' alongside three laughing emojis, while someone else added: 'The timing is goated!!' with an emoji of the domesticated livestock.

Others said: 'WHAT TIMING OMFG' and 'GOOD TIMING ADMIN' alongside a crying emoji and a red heart.

Manchester United play Championship side Coventry in the second of the two FA Cup semi-finals on Sunday afternoon.

Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic missed their kicks from the penalty spot, and the 2022 Champions League winners progressed to face
