Is this the front page blunder of the year?

Irish newspaper The Herald may have just published the biggest front-page blunder of the year after it confused Romelu Lukaku for hip hop artist Stormzy.

Manchester United announced the signing of 24-year-old Lukaku this weekend after agreeing an initial fee of £75 million for the striker.

But he is yet to be unveiled by the club.

The Herald ran a front page regardless with the forward in full United livery.

Except the picture isn’t of him – it’s of popular grime and hip hop artist Stormzy.

The artist is a big fan of Manchester United, and has been likened to Lukaku in the past.

But the picture will surely cause a few blushes as the first edition hits the shelves this morning – taxi for Mr Markham me thinks!
