Man Utd Fans Have Had Enough With One Player After Everton Defeat

Manchester United fans are calling for one player to be sold after their 1-0 defeat against Everton at Old Trafford.

The Toffees secured the win thanks to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's 18-yard curling effort in the first half.

United goalkeeper Senne Lammens got a hand to the midfielder's effort, but could only palm it into the right corner of the net.

It was a nightmare evening for Ruben Amorim's side, who spent the majority of the match up against 10 players.

Everton's Idrissa Gueye was sent off for what VAR deemed to be a 'clear strike to the face' of his own team-mate Michael Keane during a furious on-pitch row.

But United couldn't break the Toffees down, with fans questioning their tactical setup in attack against a team who were a player down.

Joshua Zirkzee made just his second start of the season for United, having seen his season disrupted first by injury and then a lack of first team minutes upon his return.

And United fans were less than happy about his display against Everton.

The Dutchman had two of United's best chances to equalise in the second half, directing a header towards the bottom corner only to see it tipped wide by Jordan Pickford.

On another occasion, he could only aim his header well within the reach of Pickford, who tipped it over the bar.

One fan wrote: "Zirkzee wanted his opportunity, got it and wasted it!"

A second said: "Leaving Zirkzee on for 90 minutes was a criminally bad decision."

A third added: "If Zirkzee is the answer, I haven't got a clue what the question is."

While a fourth stated: "Zirkzee should leave in January."

The Netherlands international was given his opportunity amid the absences of Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha through injury.

News of Cunha's injury was made public on Saturday when he failed to attend a Christmas lights switch-on alongside Sam Aston, who plays Chesney Brown on Coronation Street.

Visit Altrincham, who organised the event, wrote that Cunha had suffered 'an accident in training'.

Speaking ahead of the match, Amorim said: "It was a knock in training so I don't know how long he's going to be stay out. I think it's nothing serious, but we cannot risk players.

"We have to show everybody, when you are not 100 per cent, we have a different player to cope with the demands of the game."
