Some Manchester United fans were angry and disappointed with Fred’s performance after they were eliminated in the FA Cup quarter-final by Leicester City on Sunday.

The Brazilian has been a regular in the centre of the park alongside Scott McTominay this term, but he had a poor showing against the Foxes yesterday.

The 28-year-old gifted the Foxes with the opening goal in the 24th minute as his weak backpass for Dean Henderson was intercepted by Kelechi Iheanacho to score an easy goal.

The Red Devils went into the half-time interval at 1-1 after a Mason Greenwood equaliser, but the Foxes took the lead moments after the restart.

Youri Tielemans scored after a stunning 30-yard run, and both Fred and Nemanja Matic could not stop him in his stride as he slotted the ball past the goalkeeper.

The Foxes eventually triumphed by a 3-1 scoreline with a second goal for Iheanacho. Fred had a disappointing display as he squandered possession on multiple occasions.

A selection of United supporters were critical over his showing and expressed their frustration on Twitter. Here are a few reactions.

Yeah, Fred’s a liability. Every time this guy receives the ball my heart sinks so I’m not surprised that he’s just gifted Leicester a free goal. Shocking, man.
