Manchester United suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Newcastle, with fans turning on substitute Joshua Zirkzee after a series of poor performances.
Manchester United supporters only celebrated when a struggling player was substituted. They criticized Andre Onana for handling the ball too slowly but were particularly harsh on Joshua Zirkzee . They complained about his lack of aggression and booed him when he was taken off in the 33rd minute. While some fans clapped him as he left, they quickly resumed booing. Zirkzee was not injured and eventually returned to the sidelines to diplomatic applause.
Even he received more criticism than Marcus Rashford, who is publicly trying to leave United. Rashford was humiliated when Antony was chosen to come on instead of him. Zirkzee's time at United seems over, and the reaction to his substitution was the most negative any withdrawn United player has experienced. Many fans expressed disgust at the vocal minority, and a significant number may regret their behavior in time. The Stretford End's chant of 'Amorim's red and white army' at halftime was more appropriate. While there were boos, they were overshadowed by the positive support. Kobbie Mainoo's replacement for Zirkzee created two good chances for Rasmus Hojlund and Casemiro in the final minutes of a first half that flattered United. Those chants were amplified when they attacked the Stretford End in the second half. In this match between 14th and 5th place, the United team in red lost respectably. This is how far they have fallen. The fans have accepted this short-term pain, and it is brutal. The Zirkzee change disrupted Newcastle's rhythm, and Harry Maguire headed against the post early in the second half. Matthijs de Ligt's follow-up was blocked. The Stretford End became louder. Maguire, De Ligt, and Leny Yoro, three defenders, came closest to scoring
