Man Utd are hiring a die-hard fan to run their social media on a staggering £100,000 salary.

Old Trafford chiefs are on the hunt for a social media whizz to promote the Red Devils on Instagram and Twitter to their 1.1 billion fans.

And if you are a "tech savvy, 'social first’ twenty-something" then you might have what it takes to be the new head of social media at the famous Old Trafford Club.

According to the job advert, the successful applicant will be an "energetic culture change catalyst, someone who is obsessed with data but equally obsessed with new and interesting ways to connect with fans".

The job is also hailed as "a unique opportunity for an analytical, organised and creative individual to lead one of the world's largest branded social media portfolios".

As head of social media, you will be tasked with working alongside players and players' agents on "content and strategy" but you won't be responsible for managing the players' individual feeds.

The club added: "We’re looking for an industry leading, established, creative and highly organised social media professional."

To fit the criteria of the Red Devils' social media whizz, you will at minimum have a Bachelors Degree or an equivalent minimum 5 years’ experience running large branded social channels, preferably within the sports industry.
