Ariella Arida, the Philippines bet for the 2013 Miss Universe, was the subject of insensitive comments of a Twitter user, who apparently carries the name of Manchester United's legendary football tactician Alex Ferguson.

Arida, who entered the Miss Universe competition as one of the favorites to win this year's crown, finished 3rd runner-up in the contest, but nevertheless gave the Philippines its fourth straight stint in the top 5 of the most prestigious beauty pageant in the world.

Throughout the Miss Universe pageant week, Miss Philippines received positive feedbacks from experts and beauty contest pundits for her rare combination of beauty, grace and elegance. However, the Twitter basher obviously didn't agree.

Manchester United Fan Fires 'Ugly' Comments

A Manchester United fan, carrying the name of the ballclub's former manager, the Hall of Famer Alex Ferguson, fired insensitive comments towards Arida, calling the Filipina Miss Universe candidate 'ugly' and someone with zero beauty.

"The Filipino ugly creature has her eyebrows almost pasted on her eyes. Look at that," the account user tweeted.

"Everyone wanted Arida to win even though she has zero beauty...I wonder why?" the account user added.

Even the eventual Miss Universe winner Gabriela Isler from Venezuela did not escape the user's harsh criticism, calling the TV host-turned beauty queen uglier than Arida and has frightening teeth.

#MissUniverse 2013 is even uglier than Arida. Can't believe no single blonde entered the last five," he stated.

A Ferguson Poser

Many netizens found the user's post very insensitive and below the belt. Still, they are convinced that the real Sir Alex Ferguson would never do such a thing.

Ferguson has been epitome of success for Manchester United, which is the winningest football club in England. Throughout his career as a manager for the Red Devils, Ferguson has been respectful icon not only in sports but in the society. Thus, accusing Ferguson of bashing Miss Philippines and Miss Venezuela is very much unlikely.

Moreover, the Twitter user deleted his comments right away and then his Twitter account after receiving backlash on the micro-blogging site.

Here are some of reactions from netizens regarding the basher:

"Attention seeker haha RT @ManUtd_Ferguson: Everyone wanted Arida to win even though she has ZERO beauty ..I wonder why!!! #MissUniverse2013," Twitter user stated.

"Someone is using Alex Ferguson's name to bash the winner of #MissUniverse2013 and Miss Philippines. What a sad creature."
