FA apologises for the tweet about Harry Kane and Chris Smalling
The Football Association has apologized for a tweet from its official account which mocked Tottenham striker Harry Kane after semi-final defeat by Manchester United.
The message asked United defender Chris Smalling “What’s in your pocket?” with a short answer saying, “Harry Kane”.
An FA spokesman apologised and said: "We have written to both clubs to apologise for any offence caused."
Harry Kane who has most likely been shocked by the tweet, said.
"That's people's opinion," said the England international. "People are always going to look for something to say when maybe you're not firing at your best.
"At the end of the day, I've still scored two in my last four (games). It's not the worst in the world.
"But when you set standards, people are going to look for things when you're not at them. I'm the same. I want to be better, I want to do better," Kane added.
Kane has scored 37 goals in 44 games in all competitions for Spurs this season.
