Supporters of Premier League giants Manchester United have taken to social media in numbers on Thursday evening, to make their frustrations with one member of the club’s squad clear.
Erik ten Hag’s troops, of course, are currently locked in action.
Fresh off a morale-boosting three-point haul at the weekend, the Red Devils have turned their attentions towards matters on the continent, in a highly-anticipated Europa League showdown with La Liga table-toppers Barcelona.
As things stand at the Camp Nou, it is hosts Barca, altogether unsurprisingly, who have dominated when it comes to possession.

Amid an outing which has seen their side look largely 2nd best, in turn, as alluded to above, many of a Man United persuasion have therefore taken aim at one member of Ten Hag’s setup.
The player in question? Fred.
Yeah, Fred is having that match where he completely forgets how to pass like a footballer & plays like a kid who’s just seen the ball for the first time😭🤧#BARMUN #UEL

So sick of watching Fred give the ball away when he’s attempting a simple pass. For all he’s great at, he is so terrible at some of the basics.

Fred is the punishment God sent to all Man U fans for our sins when we were on top. Its like “you’d watch the team LOVE… but with Fred playing.
