The Manchester United faithful have taken to social media in their absolute droves on Saturday evening, to make their frustrations with one player crystal clear.
Erik ten Hag’s troops, of course, were back in action a short time ago.
Amid the ongoing pursuit of a domestic cup double, the Red Devils made the trip to Wembley, for an FA Cup final showdown with arch rivals Man City.
When all was said and done, however, the efforts of Ten Hag and co, once more, came up short.
After Bruno Fernandes cancelled out Ilkay Gundogan’s early opener just beyond the half-hour mark, City’s soon to be free agent midfielder struck a decisive blow with his 2nd minutes into the 2nd-half, en route to an eventual 2-1 result.

In turn, post-match, it should not come as a huge surprise to hear of disappointment being widespread across the Manchester United fanbase.
And, as alluded to above, amid the fallout late on Saturday evening, one member of the Red Devils’ squad in particular has been singled out for widespread blame.
The player in question? David de Gea.
Taking to social media in their absolute droves, United’s supporters have torn into their side’s no.1, amid fresh calls for the Spaniard to be replaced ahead of next season:
There’s no way Manchester united win anything big with David De Gea between the sticks.
Being a Goalkeeper now is more than being a shot-stopper.
He can’t even even stop the shots now,ffs.
Time to move on. pic.twitter.com/gtvZbJZ2tC

🚨 Roy Keane: “Man Utd need a new goalkeeper and world class striker, I’m sick of saying it.”
A new keeper is as important as a new striker and midfielder, and you can love/respect De Gea as a club legend while admitting it’s time to move on.
Man Utd above any player. pic.twitter.com/7rtlF7pECP
