The match, held at Goodison Park, saw United recover from a two-goal deficit, but defensive lapses and individual errors have intensified fan dissatisfaction.
One player under intense scrutiny is goalkeeper Andre Onana. Since his high-profile transfer from Inter Milan, Onana’s performances have been inconsistent. In the recent fixture against Everton, his misjudgment led to Abdoulaye Doucouré’s goal, which extended Everton’s lead. Fans took to social media platforms to voice their concerns. One supporter commented, “Onana needs dropping. Going from De Gea to him is like selling a Ferrari and buying a Ford Fiesta.” Another added, “Onana always has a mistake in him; we won’t win anything major with him starting every week.”
Club captain Bruno Fernandes, despite his pivotal role in orchestrating United’s comeback with a well-taken free-kick, has not been immune to criticism. Some fans question his consistency and leadership on the pitch. A disgruntled fan noted, “Bruno got to get sold this summer. What an awful player he is. Him and Ugarte in that midfield is horrifying.” This sentiment reflects a growing impatience among the fanbase regarding Fernandes’ performances in crucial matches.
Defender Harry Maguire remains a polarizing figure. His involvement in Everton’s opening goal, where he failed to effectively clear a corner, has reignited debates about his suitability for the club. Pundits and former players have also weighed in. Roy Keane, speaking on Sky Sports, remarked, “They need better. Move on.” Jamie Carragher concurred, stating, “Move on.” These comments underscore a broader consensus that Maguire’s tenure at Old Trafford may be nearing its conclusion.
Midfielder Casemiro, once lauded for his stability and experience, has also come under fire. His performance against Everton was deemed lackluster, leading to calls for his departure. A fan expressed, “Casemiro has to leave in the summer. He’s done.” Another added, “Casemiro is absolutely crap. To say he’s lost it is an understatement.” These reactions highlight the high expectations placed on the Brazilian and the disappointment stemming from his recent displays.
The collective dissatisfaction points to a broader issue within the squad. A recent survey indicated that fans are in favor of offloading several players in the upcoming transfer window. Captain Harry Maguire received only 11.1% support to remain at the club, while others like Alex Telles, Eric Bailly, Donny van de Beek, and Anthony Martial also garnered less than 20% approval. This data suggests a strong desire for a significant overhaul to restore the club’s competitive edge.
Manager Ruben Amorim faces mounting pressure to address these concerns. The upcoming transfer window presents an opportunity to reshape the squad, but financial constraints and the challenge of attracting top
