One Direction were busy tweeting last night (April 22) as Manchester Utd won the English Premier League.

The football team won the league after beating Aston Villa 3-0 at Old Trafford, with Robin Van Persie scoring a hat-trick.

Harry Styles, who recently wore an Utd top on stage after hanging out with defender Rio Ferdinand, tweeted proudly:

"Manchester United. Premier League Champions."

Derby fan Niall Horan meanwhile praised the joy football can bring, saying: "Look what football does to people! Look at those Man U fans at old Trafford! It's a beautiful game!"

Louis Tomlinson praised the technical quality of the game, saying: "Wow Robin Van Persie's goal!! Unreal!"

One Direction meanwhile recently spent the day with Newcastle United whilst on tour, but they didn't impress the coaches enough to land contracts with the team.
