There’s no way I can tell this story better than the primary source. If you want a quick synopsis, basically a person quit his/her job to run @TotallyManU, a Twitter account dedicated to providing breaking news to Manchester United fans. It wasn’t a good decision. And, that person has just realized this. Yes, I realize that this is a fake story, but who cares?
(Thank you to @netw3rk for RTing @TotallyManU and opening my eyes to this story.)
Here we go….
