Twitter trolls Manchester United as they lose to Bristol City in Carabao Cup

While Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City defeated their Premier League counterparts Bournemouth, West Ham and Leicester City respectively, English Championship side Bristol City shocked everyone by knocking the Carabao Cup champions Manchester United out of the cup on Wednesday.

Bristol player Joe Bryan gave his side the lead against the Red Devils in the 51st minute of the game. However, the goal was nullified by none other than Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who made his first start of the season after returning from injury, just seven minutes later.

It looked like the game would end in a 1-1 draw and go into extra time, but Bristol's Korey Smith had other ideas. The 26-year-old surprised everyone by scoring a 93rd-minute winner for the Robins.

Bristol will now be facing the Red Devils' derby rivals Manchester City in the semi-finals of the tournament.

Twitter took the opportunity to mercilessly troll Manchester United and here are some of the reactions to the match:

Former Liverpool FC player Lucas Leiva stole the show on Twitter after the game...

Nothing can get worse than losing to 2nd tier club after spending so much...

If you're having a bad day just remember Jose Mourinho's Manchester United lost to Bristol City after spending £500M.

The Paul Pogba factor didn't work out against Bristol...

Manchester United fans: "We could have beaten Man City if Paul Pogba was available"Couldn't even beat Bristol City with Paul Pogba ?

The Red Devils played with 10 men and a Lion on the night (but still lost)...

However, the return of the Lion didn't go down too well

Ibrahimovic calls himself a lion. He must mean one of those old, knackered lions in a zoo that are always asleep.

Man! This is a serious burn...

Ibrahimovic out here making us feel like Lukaku is better

So Jose who's to blame for Man Utd losing against Bristol City?Mourinho : Wenger, ISIS, climate change, Donald Trump, Weather, Brexit.

The Special One is indeed a special one...

Mourinho is a tactical genius. Getting knocked out in the quarters by Bristol City to save getting thrashed by Man City in the semis... pic.twitter.com/AxLnYlGoVN
