Man United fans are now facing ridicule after watching Liverpool’s 5-0 defeat.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s toothless United side were soundly beaten by Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday night, with in-form forward Mohamed Salah scoring a hat-trick.
United fans poured out of the ground after Liverpool scored their fourth goal just before the half-time break.
But many loyal fans stayed and even sang: ‘You are nothing special, we lose each week.’
However, while some United fans displayed a stiff upper lip in the face humiliation, they now face a day on social media mocking.
Rival club supporters gleefully added to United fans’ pain, rushing to social networks to mock last night’s performance.
One Twitter user joked about things being ‘useless since Fergie quit’. He shared a Venn Diagram which included United, Prince Andrew, Black Eyed Peas, and a Venn Diagram.
Sir Alex Ferguson was United’s most successful manager. Fergie, also known as Fergie, is the stage name of the former lead vocalist in the Black Eyed Peas band.
In the meantime, Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, also known as Fergie, divorced Prince Andrew in 1996. Following allegations of sexual assault in the US, he has since resigned his front-line royal duties.
Others laughed about United fans being forced by stewards to remain at the ground after streams of supporters were seen leaving Old Trafford after only 45 minutes.
One Twitter user shared a stock photo of a football fan being removed from the stadium by stewards. He then added a United badge to the caption, “Shocking scenes as United fans are prevented from leaving the stadium and forced to watch the match.”
Others joked that United fans were consoled by Norwich fans after their side was beaten 7-0 by league leaders Chelsea.
