The FA has written to Tottenham and Manchester United apologising for any offence over a tweet sent after the FA Cup semi-final between the teams.

A message on the Emirates FA Cup feed showed United defender Chris Smalling replying "Harry Kane" to a mocked-up question which read "Chris, what's in your pocket?"

The tweet came in the moments after Smalling's United had come from 1-0 down to beat Tottenham 2-1 at Wembley and secure a date with Chelsea in the FA Cup final next month.

It was retweeted by thousands of Twitter users and was only removed from the feed on Monday morning.
