West Ham United fans must have been thinking they needed their hearing checked after Sky Sports announced Hammers forward Jarrod Bowen had signed a new seven-year deal with Manchester United.<\/p>\n
Bowen, who arrived at the London Stadium from Hull City on January deadline day back in 2020, has become a fan favourite with West Ham fans during his time at the club, netting the winner in their 2-1 Europa Conference League final victory against Fiorentina earlier this year.<\/p>\n
The 2023\/24 season has seen the 26-year-old hit the ground running, with Bowen having scored five goals in seven Premier League appearances this term. So good has his form been, it has even earned him a recall to Gareth Southgate's England squad for their upcoming October internationals against Australia and Italy.<\/p>\n

And his excellent form of late has seen him rewarded with a new bumper contract at the London Stadium, with Bowen set to sign a new seven-year deal with David Moyes' side. However, when they announced the news on Sky Sports, they left some football fans scratching their heads.<\/p>\n
Broadcaster Vicky Gomersall suffered an unfortunate slip of the tongue, stating Bowen had signed his new deal with Manchester United, rather than the Hammers. "Yeah, just a little bit of breaking news we'll get reaction to this later on the show but Jarrod Bowen has agreed a new long-term contract with Manchester United so great news for them," Gomersall said.<\/p>\n
Would Jarrod Bowen be a good signing for Manchester United? Let us know in the comments section below.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"A formal announcement expected in the next 24 to 48 hours and it's understood, the deal will take him up to 2030. As I said, we'll have more on that a little bit later in the show."<\/p>\n
And footy fans on social media were quick to point out the Bowen blunder. One fan wrote: "Why she say Manchester United\u2026." Another added: "Anybody else notice she says Manchester United instead of West Ham United?" <\/p>\n
