Manchester United’s shocking loss to Everton in the Premier League on Saturday has left the Red Devils' fans particularly disappointed. The player who has raised their ire the most seems to be club captain Harry Maguire.
The England international put in another underwhelming performance for the Red Devils, capping the game off with a deflection that gave Everton the winner.
Maguire has endured a poor relationship with the Old Trafford faithful for a while and his recent poor performances have done little to help. He was subject to ironic cheers from fans on being substituted in the Champions League Round of 16 second leg loss to Atletico Madrid. He was also recently booed while playing for England in a friendly match against Ivory Coast.
Following the loss, fans aired their opinions on the English defender on Twitter. Here is a selection of the tweets from the fans:
United fans will be rightly aggrieved, with the Toffees coming into the match in poor form themselves. They had won just one of their seven Premier League games before this game, facing a very real threat of relegation this season. While the Red Devils have been far from impressive, it is unlikely that anyone saw them losing to the Toffees.
Everton came into the game with a clear tactical purpose in mind and an idea on how to execute those plans. However, it didn’t seem like the same was the case for United.
Ralf Rangnick and his men looked out of ideas almost throughout the game. They failed to impose themselves on a team 10 places below them in the league table.
There are serious tactical and identity issues at United at the moment. It represents a great task for whoever steps into the managerial position permanently this summer.
Fans will hope that a day like this does not repeat itself.
Manchester United have approached Everton for Richarlison: Reports
With Everton struggling to break free from relegation doldrums, it is believed that a few of their key players will be on the lookout for greener pastures.
According to Sport Witness, forward Richarlison could be one such player who could leave Goodison Park in the summer. Manchester United have reportedly approached the Toffees for their ace attacker, as the higher-ups at Old Trafford consider him a key target.
However, they may have to fight off Real Madrid for his signature. Sports Witness reports that Los Blancos will gun for him if they are unable to sign Kylian Mbappe this summer.
Richarlison has played 145 matches for Everton, scoring 49 goals. The Brazilian put in a decent shift in the win over the Red Devils.
