Fans single out one Man Utd star and demand Ruben Amorim drops him despite Liverpool draw

Fans single out one Man Utd star and demand Ruben Amorim drops him despite Liverpool draw

Manchester United fans have called on Ruben Amorim to drop one player after their 2-2 draw at Liverpool.

Amorim's side performed well in the first half and had several chances to take the lead at Anfield.

They did take the lead on 52 minutes through Lisandro Martinez, with the Argentinian unexpectedly getting himself in the Liverpool penalty area before firing an unstoppable left-footed effort in off the crossbar.

But United's advantage lasted just six minutes as Cody Gakpo levelled the scores with a superb right-footed curling effort.

And it was 2-1 on 70 minutes after Matthijs de Ligt gave away a penalty for handball.

Mohamed Salah stepped up and curled the ball into the bottom left corner beyond Andre Onana.

The penalty was awarded after the ball struck De Ligt's outstretched arm.

The Dutchman had received a yellow card on 64 minutes. And fans were less than happy with his performance at Anfield - particularly given the part he also played in the build-up to Liverpool's first goal.

One fan wrote: "De Ligt has thrown this away for Manchester United. A game to forget."

A second added: "I always hate handball penalties but De Ligt man what are you doing."

A third said: "Complete control of the game and it's all undone by De Ligt in two instances."

And a fourth wrote: "De Ligt needs to get dropped, how dare he."

Amad Diallo did rescue a point for United with a composed low finish into the bottom corner, but that didn't mean De Ligt escaped criticism from United supporters.

The visitors secured a point after what was an encouraging performance from Amorim's side - and they had a chance to win the game with what was the final kick.

Joshua Zirkzee squared to Harry Maguire from 12 yards out, but the ball bobbled in front of the centre-back and he could only guide his effort over the crossbar.
