Manchester United fans want one player to be replaced immediately after their 2-2 pre-season friendly draw with Everton.
Ruben Amorim's side ended the Premier League Summer Series by twice squandering a lead at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.
Bruno Fernandes gave them the lead from the penalty spot, before Iliman Ndiaye equalised for Everton on the cusp of half-time.

Second-half substitute Mason Mount restored United's advantage on 69 minutes, but an own goal from Ayden Heaven six minutes later meant the game finished level.
United dominated possession and had six shots on target over the 90 minutes, and also remain unbeaten in their four pre-season matches to date.
It also means that they win the Summer Series competition, having picked up more points in their three games than Everton, Bournemouth or West Ham.
United were presented with a trophy, which is likely to only offer minor encouragement ahead of the new season given that the games were very much played in preparation for the 2025/26 campaign and to try out new tactics, systems and combinations.

But they do also serve as a way for players to potentially play themselves into the manager's thinking and into the first starting XI of the new Premier League season.
United have taken on Leeds, West Ham, Everton and Bournemouth thus far - who will all be Premier League opponents this season.
As a result, fans have taken aim at one player over his display against the Toffees.
Midfielder Manuel Ugarte started the fixture in Atlanta and played 72 minutes before being replaced by Casemiro.

But he did not make a good impression on supporters.
Taking to Twitter, one wrote: "Ugarte hype lasted one game. Get me that new DM asap."
A second added: "This Manuel Ugarte performance, granted it's pre-season, is what you show young midfielders exactly what not to do."

A third stated: "Add Ugarte to the bomb squad."
While a fourth claimed: "As far as pre-season goes, this Ugarte performance is the worst in its history."
And a fifth said: "I don't know who needs to hear this but Ugarte can't be starting games for us next season."
United take on Fiorentina at Old Trafford in their final pre-season friendly of the summer on Sunday, before hosting Arsenal in their opening Premier League fixture a week later.
