Joshua Zirkzee aimed a dig at Manchester United fans with his social media post following their dramatic victory over Lyon in the Europa League.
Man United beat Lyon 7-6 on aggregate to book their spot in the Europa League semi-finals following their sensational second-leg victory at Old Trafford on Thursday.
The Red Devils claimed a famous 5-4 victory over Lyon as Harry Maguire headed home in the dying stages as fans were left unhappy with TNT Sports' commentary.

The hosts led two-nil at the break before Lyon mounted a brilliant comeback, scoring four unanswered goals, including two in extra time.
Bruno Fernandes pulled one back from the spot before Kobbie Mainoo curled home a terrific strike. Maguire completed the comeback in the 121st minute, prompting a wild post from Amad Diallo.
But not everyone was in their seats inside Old Trafford as some supporters had left the ground after surrendering their lead.
That was noticed by Zirkzee, who aimed a dig at the fans who left early as he referenced the atmosphere following Maguire's winning goal.

On his Instagram story, he shared a clip of the crowd singing, accompanied with the caption: "To all the fans who left when we were down. Listen to this."
Ruben Amorim made a similar comment in his post-match interview with TNT Sports
"The sounds of the stadium was the best ever," he said. "Some people collect shirts, scarves, but I want to keep that sound, it's the best sound in the world.

"I feel for the people who had to leave at 4-2 because of the traffic, they will be gutted. We know we are underperforming and deserve all the critics, but we have time to make something special of this season."
Man United face Athletic Bilbao, who beat Rangers, in the semi-finals, with the two legs set to take place next month.
