Multiple fans even accused Haaland of pronouncing his own name incorrectly. Andre Ostgaard tweeted: 'I'm Norwegian and I have no idea what Haaland tried to do there. None of his 3 names are pronounced like that. It's not even remotely close.' Another fan replied: 'He's definitely trolling'. A different comment read: 'Surely he has to be doing it as a joke? Aint no way he's pronouncing his last name like that.'

One Watford supporter commented: 'I'm sure Sean Dyche was included for #bantz but it turns out I've been pronouncing his name wrong since he played for us 20 years ago. Every day is a school day!' Another Watford fan replied: 'I learned it about 5 years ago or so, but yeah was [in the] same boat! Thought it was Die-sh, not Die-ch'. A third fan reacted with four laughing emojis alongside the message: 'Who knew that Sean Dyche is the one that I have been mispronouncing!'

Despite widely being pronounced 'Fer-nan-des' by many fans and commentators, the United captain explained - and not for the first time - that it is more like 'Fer-nanj'. One fan reacted by tweeting: 'Still refuse to pronounce Bruno's name the way he says it. I'm stuck in my ways'. Arne SlotJoshua Zirkzee
