Manchester United bans social networking

Manchester United Football Club has posted a message on its website explaining that its players do not belong to online social networks. It advises users to treat any profiles in the names of its players with "extreme scepticism". The club says this is because of the high numbers of people impersonating team members online. There are many accounts across social network sites which claim to be in the name of high profile footballers. Manchester United players Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs and Darren Fletcher are believed to have had genuine accounts on Twitter, which are now closed. http://news.bbc.co.uk
