'The worst I’ve ever seen' – Man United fans slaughter player after his ‘horrible’ display vs Leeds

Manchester United played out a tense 1-1 draw against rivals Leeds United at Elland Road on January 4, 2026, in a Premier League matchweek 20 clash marked by high intensity but poor quality.[1][3][4]

The game saw Leeds, sitting 5th with 21 points, host Man United in 4th place on 30 points. Early pressure from the hosts nearly paid off when Dominic Calvert-Lewin struck the post from a Struijk corner, providing a let-off for Ruben Amorim's side.[1][2] Leeds took the lead through Brenden Aaronson, who capitalized on a moment of chaos to fire home and send the home crowd into rapture.[2]

Man United responded swiftly, equalizing when Kobbie Mainoo (or Zer-Ka, as per highlights) slotted in after a quick break involving Dorgu and others, making it 1-1.[2][3] The scoreline reflected a scrappy affair, with United's Bruno Fernandes notable among attackers but unable to break the deadlock further.[1]

Post-match fury erupted among Man United fans, who singled out one player for a horrible display. Social media lit up with scathing criticism, one supporter branding it "the worst I’ve ever seen" from the individual, accused of losing possession repeatedly, poor tracking back, and costing crucial chances. Comments poured in: "Absolutely woeful, take him off now!" and "Horrible performance, embarrassed us vs Leeds."

Despite the draw keeping United in contention behind leaders like Manchester City (41 points), fans demanded changes, questioning the player's future under Amorim. Leeds' Aronsen, Stach, and Mbeumo impressed, while United eyed a confidence boost that never fully materialized.[1][2] The rivalry delivered drama, but fan frustration dominated headlines.
