'She's a lovely girl but...' cruel tweet causes online uproar

An online betting firm has caused outrage after it shared an offensive tweet about the girlfriend of a Manchester United player.

Australian betting firm, Odds Checker targeted striker James Wilson, posting a photo of him holding hands with his beautiful partner as they arrived for the club’s awards dinner earlier this week.

Underneath the Tweet read: “Sure she’s a lovely girl but someone needs to remind James Wilson he’s a pro footballer.”

"Start abusing this privilege."
