If you think you're having a rough Monday spare a thought for the editor in The Herald who made this boo-boo.

They mistakenly used a picture of musician Stormzy on their back page story about Manchester United's newest signing Romelu Lukaku.
 
The picture quickly went viral after twitter users spotted the pictures was not of the Belgian striker but was instead United fan Stormzy.
 

The picture appears to be from United's away kit launch from last May where he met David Beckham in London. 

Count yourself lucky that your Monday fear is nowhere near as bad as the person who made that mistake.
 
UPDATE 13:53: The Herald have apologised for the picture error:

Hands up, we got it badly wrong. Earlier, we made an error with a picture of Romelu Lukaku that wasn't him. It was Stormzy.

To be honest, we are totally embarrassed and want to say sorry to all involved and our readers for the error. We will keep our eye on the ball in future.

Alan Steenson, Herald Editor

Meanwhile, Stormzy has has tweeted to say he doesn't find the mistake funny.
