Fleetwood Town FC mock Manchester United in viral tweet after Carabao Cup nightmare
The tweet went viral shortly after being posted last night.
Fleetwood Town FC have taken a swipe at Manchester United after the Cod Army reached the fourth round of the Carabao Cup while United crashed out last night.
Fleetwood made history last night by reaching the 4th round of the Carabao Cup for the first time, beating Championship side Sheffield United 1-0 in a closely-fought match.
Manchester United were 2-0 up to Brighton and Hove Albion but let their lead slip and ultimately lost 3-2 to the Seagulls, meaning Fleetwood have progressed further than United in the cup for the first time ever.
In a viral tweet posted to X last night, the Fylde coast side mocked the 13-time Premier League winners. The tweet, which has amassed over 55k likes, reads: “Just a reminder: Town have gone further in this year’s League Cup than Manchester United
Fleetwood will host current Premier League champions Arsenal in the fourth round in what will be a momentous occasion in the Cod Army’s history books.
Town also took a jab at Michael Arteta’s side, tweeting: "The Arsenal are coming to the real Highbury.”
Details are yet to be confirmed for Fleetwood’s clash with the Gunners but the tie will be played in the week commencing the 26th October.
