Manchester United fans have criticized Moroccan midfielder Sofyan Amrabat's performance during the Red Devils 3-1 loss to Manchester City on Sunday, March 3.
Amrabat, who was one of the top performers in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, has struggled to find his feet at Old Trafford. He joined Manchester United on a loan deal from Seria A Fiorentina in September 2023.
However, the 27-year-old has struggled for consistency. Amrabat has made 20 appearances for the Red Devils across different competitions, failing to secure even a single goal contribution.
He put in another substandard display against Pep Guardiola's Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, March 3. Amrabat wasn't named in the playing XI by Erik ten Hag as he was substituted into the game in place of Kobbie Mainoo in the 82nd minute.
During his limited time on the pitch, the 27-year-old made only two passes while also committing an error, which led to Erling Haaland scoring City's third goal of the game. Rodri dispossessed Amrabat just outside United's keeper box as Haaland seated the victory for City with a left-footed finish.
After the game, fans started criticizing the Moroccan midfielder for his frightful mistake which led to a goal. Some fans stated that Amarbat should head back to Seria A while a few said that his contract should be upright terminated.
"Mbappe gave this brother a career. Ship him back to Italy." One fan commented.
"Terminate his contract after this game," Another user wrote.
