Nice to see Sir Alex is keeping busy in his retirement by setting up an official twitter for the club. Hey there Fergie! @ManUtd

They finally join Twitter, their manager does live radio interviews over the phone, banned journos are invited back in. Glasnost at @ManUtd?

.@ManUtd already have more followers than me. Something their singular tweet thus far hardly deserves.
