Manchester United have been accused of being 'disrespectful' by fans following their 'shameless' social media post about Donny van de Beek.
Van de Beek made a brief cameo showing in Man United's thrilling 2-2 draw with Aston Villa on Saturday.
He replaced two-goal hero Bruno Fernandes in the 89th minute, bringing up his 50th appearance for the club since his move from Ajax in 2020.
Man United marked his landmark with a dedicated post on Twitter.
They shared a picture of the Dutchman, accompanied with the caption: "A half-century of United appearances for @Donny_Beek6 on Saturday."
However, the club's post did NOT go down well with their own supporters online.
The 24-year-old has played a bit-part role since his transfer to Man United, making a handful of starts in the Premier League.
Man United fans slammed the post about Van de Beek, calling it 'disrespectful' and 'shameless'.

Van de Beek has been the subject of intense transfer speculation as a result of his lack of playing time.
Newcastle United and Borussia Dortmund are thought to be keen on snapping him up this month.
Man United, meanwhile, could've moved above sixth-placed Tottenham had they held onto their lead.
The draw, though, sees them remain in seventh place on 32 points, five points behind fourth-placed West Ham United.
