Paddy Power have trolled Man United fans by offering them to ‘escape the season from hell’ in the wake of their Europa League final defeat on Wednesday night.
Ruben Amorim’s Red Devils fell to defeat against Tottenham in their clash at the Estadio de San Mames – after Brennan Johnson’s scrappy goal in the first-half.
It was a disappointing evening for United, who many had expected to triumph over Ange Postecoglou’s struggling Spurs in the showpiece event.
The defeat rounded off a dismal campaign for United – though there remains one final league fixture – having failed to win silverware and fallen to 16th in the league table.
As a result, United have fallen victim to online trolls and among them are bookmakers Paddy Power who produced a hilarious video offering a trip to the Faroe Islands.
In a post on X, Paddy Power wrote: ‘Beaten by Spurs, 16th in the table and Liverpool are Champions.

In a video, one United fan embarked on the journey to leave behind their dismal campaign
‘Man Utd fans, RT this post for a chance to escape any mention of football this weekend.
‘Prize includes: All expenses paid trip to remote Faroe Islands. Accommodation with no TV and Internet’.
In an accompanying video, the bookmakers showed the journey a Man United fan going to the Faroe Islands in order to escape the hounding of Liverpool supporters.
However, in the final scene, the Red Devils fan is greeted by a rival when he arrives at the top of a hill upon the island.
A Paddy Power spokesperson said: ‘Watching Man United’s season unfold has been a tough watch for all the fans, especially with Liverpool’s instant success under Arne Slot.
‘After seeing their final glimmer of hope disappear last night, we thought it’s only right to give someone the chance to get away from it all and forget about football for a while.’
One lucky winner will be flown to Trollanes – a rugged outpost in the Faroe Islands.

Meanwhile, a glum-looking Man United squad were spotted leaving their Bilbao hotel on Thursday morning following their Europa League final loss the night before.
United boss Amorim looked downbeat as he lead his side out of the hotel and wheeled his suitcase alongside him, past fans and photographers.
The Portuguese coach did manage to offer a wink at the camera as he walked past.
The likes of Mason Mount, Harry Maguire and Andre Onana were also seen leaving the hotel and heading onto the team bus as they mulled over their defeat.
