He was angry about a photo of Virgil van Dijk posing in celebration with the Champions League and Premier League trophies.
The post had been retweeted by a Manchester United fan with the caption: "Imagine in 2009 when we won the PL but lost the CL final our players had carried on posing for photos with both trophies?? They’re something else."
This somewhat missed the point that once United had lost to Barcelona in the 2009 final, they were no longer the holders of the Champions League trophy and thus had no claim to the honour. The Reds may no longer be in this season's competition, having been eliminated by Atletico Madrid in the round of 16, but they remain reigning champions until the final on August 23. Nevertheless, Bradley replied: "As soon as the final whistle blew against Athletico (sic) they had no right to pose with the CL anymore. Anybody else would be embarrassed."Imagine in 2009 when we won the PL but lost the CL final our players had carried on posing for photos with both trophies??

Liverpool faithful were quick to respond to the Game of Thrones actor.
Gareth Davies said: "But we are the current holders. Nobody else has won it since us and the current tournament is still being played. But aside from that....concentrate on 4th and not what or not the big boys are doing."
Chris Kerr posted: "I've NEVER won it but I've posed with it. These guys a) have won it therefore are entitled to pose with it and b) ARE THE CURRENT HOLDERS! Because they went out does not change that fact until AFTER THE FINAL. When City kicked off this season did they lose the right to pose?"
Daryl Butler responded: "Yeah, imagine posing with trophies that you’ve won and are current holders of! The trophies should be immediately put in a locked cupboard and never mentioned again."
Tom Harris tweeted: "If I'd been in the last two seasons of GoT I'd be embarrassed but there we are."
And Tom Walters concluded: "I mean, we’re still the holders and would’ve been the holders if the season finished like normal. Don’t see an issue tbh it’s not as if your lot are gonna win these again anytime soon is it. I liked you in GoT as well, now I wish they killed you off."
