The ticker caused an uproar amongst the fans of the football club as BBC offered clarification and apologized to the Manchester United faithful for the unsavory incident.
BBC clarified that a new employee was under training on how to write text for the ticker that runs at the bottom of the screen and the news was accidentally published on the news channel.

Here is BCC’s clarification of the incident:
Manchester United, widely regarded as one of the biggest football clubs in the world, had a disappointing 2021/22 season. Despite signing the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Raphael Varane, and Jadon Sancho, United failed to impress as they finished at the sixth spot in the English Premier League. They were knocked out by the Spanish side, Atletico Madrid, in the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League.
The Red Devils have appointed a new manager, Erik Ten Hag, ahead of the new season and they will be determined to start their rebuild and put on a much better showing next season.
