A cheeky Manchester United fan allegedly hung a banner outside the training ground criticising the players.
Man United reached a new low point on Saturday afternoon having been defeated by Everton, who have been the most out-of-form team in the Premier League, a period which has left them hanging precariously over the relegation zone.
The Red Devils have next to no chance of qualifying for the Champions League, and on current form, would legitimately be fortunate to find themselves playing in the Europa League next year, such has been the extent of their decline.

Needless to say, the Man United supporters are absolutely furious with how dismal their players have been in recent weeks and months – and that fury appears to have boiled over onto the training ground.
News filtered through on Monday that one supporter hung a banner to greet the players on arrival at the club’s training complex… and let’s just say that it wasn’t so complimentary.

Some would deem it harsh and others would suggest that you need to back your players in tough times, not turn on them, but Man United are rotten to the core and have a serious amount of deadwood in the squad. The anger is entirely justified.
