Fans react as 'deluded' Piers Morgan dismantles Man Utd's transfer activity

Manchester United fans couldn't resist berating Piers Morgan after he dismantled their summer transfer business following Andre Onana's shocking error this afternoon.

Erik ten Hag's side have recruited heavily this summer with over £170 million invested to bring in Onana, Mason Mount and most recently, Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund.

The 20-year-old striker was unveiled at Old Trafford this afternoon as the Red Devils looked to step-up their pre-season preparations ahead of the beginning of the Premier League campaign next week.

Ligue 1 side RC Lens were the latest opponent to face up against United this summer, with Ten Hag's men able to secure a 3-1 afternoon on the afternoon. However, it wasn't plain sailing, as new signing Onana discovered on his first outing at the 'Theatre of Dreams' today.

Marcus Rashford, Antony and Casemiro were all on the scoresheet but it will be Lens' first goal which grabs the headlines, after Florian Sotoca chipped the United keeper from the half-way line to give his side the lead in the first half.

The goal has since swept social media with Onana's predecessor, David de Gea, familiar with this form of scrutiny in the role. Following the error, one of the most notable reactions came from avid Arsenal fan, Piers Morgan.

Taking to his personal social media account, Morgan said: "So, to recap: United have spent £47m on a goalkeeper who can’t stop shots from the half-way line, £60m on a midfielder who can’t hit 6ft open-goal sitters, and £72m on a striker I’ve never heard of."

United fans have since reacted to the comment, as shown below:

@AliceTalksFooty: Piers Morgan needs to go to Specsavers if he can't see what Onana, Hojlund and Mount add to United. It's funny to think Arsenal expressed an interested in Mount & Hojlund and now want a new GK. Piers would not be saying this if Arsenal signed these 3 players.

@dermotgriff: Typical deluded Arsenal fan.

@Ibraheem2nd: Arsenal spent £105m on a player who couldn't even show himself. The real tragedy is that, Arsenal spent £65m on a player who is Chelsea's waste material.

@HeyOmanComingYo: The fact you've never heard of Rasmus Højlund shows how weak your ball knowledge is.

@JamesFinbow: Never heard of Hojlund? That just highlights your ignorance.
