THE old curse of copying and pasting has struck again with Manchester United star Daley Blind the latest victim.
The Dutch defender was ridiculed after posting a snap on Instagram on Tuesday – and he scored a massive own goal.

Defender Blind was the man chosen to model the Red Devils ’ brand spanking new third kit.
He was asked to update his Instagram with a picture of him wearing the grey number.
The PR-filled caption that was sent to him was quickly copied and uploaded for the world to see… but the 27-year-old made an almighty error.
He forgot to delete his representative’s request.
And that led to the caption reading: “Hi mate, would you be ok posting this image on your social channels with the following copy?
“Ready for the next match in the new @adidasfootball third shirt! Let’s go!! @manchesterunited #HereToCreate.”

He wrote: “Can you tweet something like:
“Unbelievable support yesterday and great effort by the lads! Hard result to take! But we go again!”
And Christian Benteke suffered a similar fate he failed to delete the word “caption” from an Instagram post after celebrating a goal towards the end of last season.
