Manchester United fans have taken to social media in their droves to take aim at two of their starting XI during their first half against Bayern Munich, a game in which they headed into the interval 2-0 down despite some bright play.
The Red Devils have traveled to the Allianz Arena to take on the German Champions in poor form, following a 3-1 defeat to Brighton at the weekend and with just two wins in their first five games of the season.
Despite a bright start and an impressive Champions League outing for Sergio Reguilon, goals from Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry either side of the half-hour mark left United staring down the barrel of another defeat and a result that will pile further pressure on Erik ten Hag.
And United fans knew exactly who to blame, with two of Ten Hag’s signings receiving the brunt of the criticism.
The first of those on the chopping block was Andre Onana, who let Leroy Sane’s effort slip below him to allow Bayern Munich to take the lead at the Allianz.

Plenty were quick to point to the change of goalkeeper over the summer, and the suggestion that David de Gea may well have saved the effort despite him being worse with the ball at his feet.
The Brazilian was seen jogging back before he failed to mark Serge Gnabry, who fired home.
As you can see below, they were quick to point the fingers.
I mean this quite seriously when I say what in the name of all that is holy is Casemiro doing https://t.co/jhDzYsWfmj

Bayern 2-0 #MUFC
Horror for Onana. That mistake looks to be eating him. He stood with his hands on his hips for the majority of the time in between the goals.
He’s pulled his shirt over his face more than once. United had been playing fine, the dynamic has totally shifted.

Individual errors + zero confidence = disaster.
As soon as Onana whiffed the balloon burst and it’s been a stroll for Bayern. 😩

Onana is proving to be a wonderful addition to United’s highly entertaining banter era. A suitable De Gea replacement.

If you can’t rely on Casemiro on big European nights then what’s the point
