John Terry wasted no time in dishing out a savage put-down to Manchester United fans after he joined Twitter on Saturday.

The Blues icon received plenty of stick from rival fans after signing up to the social media site, but was happy to have a bit of banter in return.

The pick of the bunch was a reply to a Man Utd fan who posted a picture of Terry crying after he missed a penalty against the Reds in the 2008 Champions League final shoot-out in Moscow.

MUFCFanZone shared the photo and wrote: “Welcome to the wonderful world of Twitter! #ThatNightInMoscow.”

And having seen United lose 2-0 at home to bitter rivals City on Saturday, Terry quipped back: “That’s the Man Utd fans after today and realising you’re five years away from catching Chelsea.”
