BRUNO FERNANDES left Man Utd fans stunned with his attempt to get his side back into the game away to Hong Kong.
With the Red Devils trailing 1-0, their captain was put through on goal with the chance to equalise.
But he then attempted a rabona, which the goalkeeper saved with his leg.
The Portugal star was then accused of “not caring” by supporters.
One fan wrote: “Man United 1-0 down to Hong Kong and Bruno tries this…
“They simply don’t care!”
And another posted: “Get rid of Bruno asap”
And a third commented: “Ah man the level of arrogance from a team that finished 16th”
But other fans were more annoyed with the actions of Rasmus Hojlund.
That’s because Fernandes did manage to retrieve the situation, control the ball again and play a pass to the striker, who was just outside the six-yard box.
But Hojlund failed to control the ball and saw it cleared by the Hong Kong defence.
One fan commented: “I’m more interested in how Hojlund can’t control a simple pass.”
Another wrote: “Hojlunds first touch is that bad, his second touch is a tackle”
And a third put: “That’s embarrassing. They should be taking this seriously, I can’t believe he has just tried to pass to Hojlund there.”
The incident could have ended up being an infamous end to Fernandes’ Man Utd career as his agent reportedly held talks with Al Hilal this week.
The Saudi side are looking to secure a £100m deal ahead of their Club World Cup campaign.
And that could see Fernandes earn a tax-free £700,000-a-week, three-year deal worth £200m including bonuses.
If the match in Hong Kong does turn up to be Fernandes’ last for Man Utd, then his blushes were at least spared by his team-mates.
Striker Chido Obi netted a second-half double before Ayden Heaven scored a late third to secure a 3-1 win.
