The Manchester United faithful have taken to social media in their absolute droves on Saturday, to single one player out for widespread criticism.
The Red Devils, of course, are currently locked in Premier League action.
Fresh off an opening day defeat at the hands of Brighton & Hove Albion, Erik ten Hag’s troops have made the trip to London, eyeing a bounce back result in a meeting with Thomas Frank’s Brentford.
To say that such efforts have thus far not gone exactly according to plan, though, would be something of an understatement.
Instead, the evening’s visitors have been utterly torn apart, en route to a remarkable 4-goal first-half deficit.
A shameful display has opened the door for Brentford to run riot, courtesy of goals on the part of all of Josh Dasilva, Mathias Jensen, Ben Mee, and Bryan Mbeumo.

The likes of Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire and Christian Eriksen have all been singled out for heavy criticism across the action at the Brentford Community Stadium to date.
None, however, has been more widely targeted than David de Gea.
Looking a shell of his once brilliant self once more on Saturday, the Red Devils faithful appear to have given up on their long-time no.1 once and for all, with just some of the highlights from across social media showcased below:
David de Gea’s worst mistake ever? Horrifically bad.#MUFC

How do some United fans still defend David De Gea I just don’t get it. He’s in no man’s land again for that goal.

De Gea is genuinely a shocking keeper. Its been evident for many seasons but “he saves us”.

He may have been Player of the Season 4 times in a row, but current-day David de Gea is quite honestly one of the worst goalkeepers we’ve ever had

DE GEA LOOOOL GET HIM OUT

For years now, De Gea has been making big mistakes in moments when we absolutely can’t afford it. Top 4 races, end of seasons, finals. Another problem we didn’t need.
