Man Utd fans demand player is sold after ‘shocking’ performance against Aston Villa

Manchester United fans blasted one of their players for a poor performance in the 0-0 draw against Aston Villa.

Manchester United fans are demanding that one of their summer signings is sold after a poor performance against Aston Villa.

The Red Devils failed to win for the fifth consecutive game, drawing 0-0 in an easily forgettable fixture at Villa Park.

36-year-old Jonny Evans was United's top performer and claimed the Man of the Match award for a fine display at the heart of the backline.

But United supporters weren't happy with a number of things from their team.

At half-time many online called for Erik ten Hag to bring off captain Bruno Fernandes and by the end of the game they were tasking for one of their players to be sold.

Striker Rasmus Hojlund was replaced by Joshua Zirkzee in the 64th minute but the Dutchman was unbelievably sluggish.

Zirkzee bagged on his United debut in the opening weekend win over Fulham but after 10 appearances, many have already had enough of him.

One fan said: "Sell Zirkzee in January and forget it ever happened."

A second commented: "Zirkzee looks like he’s never played football before. Sell him."

A third wrote: "IVE F***ING HAD IT WITH ZIRKZEE. HE DOES NOT PLAY FOR THE BADGE AT ALL. SELL HIM TO GO AHEAD EAGLES NOW."

Another agreed: "Zirkzee is the most useless player in our squad. Sell him immediately."

A final person asked: "Can we sell Zirkzee in January?"

In a bid to ease the burden on Hojlund, United dipped into the market for a striker in the summer and signed Zirkzee from Serie A side Bologna.

United paid £34 million for his services and and handed the 23-year-old a five-year contract.

But the former Bayern Munich man really doesn't look up to the required level and his lackadaisical playing style has failed to impress his new fans.

After the international break, United return to action with a home game against Brentford on 19 October.
