Manchester United fans are demanding two players are dropped after a horror show in the 3-3 Europa League draw against Porto.

United were 2-0 up and flying 20 minutes thanks to goals from Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund.

But Pepe reduced the deficit for the hosts before 20-year-old striker Samu Omorodion struck twice to complete a remarkable turnaround.

The former Atletico Madrid man bullied Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt at the Estadio do Dragao.

The former Ajax defenders appeared to establish themselves as Erik ten Hag's first-choice pairing in the early parts of the season but both were all over the place on Thursday.

They were so poor in fact, that both were hooked for Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans in the 77th minute with United 3-2 down.

Maguire scored a stoppage-time equaliser to save Ten Hag's bacon and fans want changes at the heart of the backline.

They cannot wait for £52 million summer signing Leny Yoro to return from injury and believe partnering the 18-year-old with Maguire is the way to go.

One said: "Chuckle brothers to start at Villa Park on Sunday. Drop De Ligt & Martinez."

A second person agreed: "De Ligt cannot start on Sunday. Martinez will be lucky to start on Sunday."

A third commented: "Get Leny Yoro back man."

A fourth opined: "Leny Yoro can't come back soon enough. First choice pairing should be him and Maguire until Martinez and De Ligt get their s**t together.

A fifth user wrote: "I need me a Leny Yoro and Harry Maguire partnership."

A final person posted: "Sir Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans have to be our staring CB parting from here on out until Leny Yoro comes back."

Winless in their last four games and currently 13th in the Premier League, United travel to Aston Villa on Sunday for a huge clash.

Pressure continues to pile on Ten Hag and it's emerged that INEOS chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe will be in attendance at Villa Park.
