Following a terrible first half performance in the Red Devils’ Europa League match against Real Sociedad, Manchester United supporters have criticised one of the team’s star players. As they prepare for their worst-ever Premier League finish, Ruben Amorim’s team knew going into the game that advancement in Europe would be crucial to preserving their season.
United had a strong start to the match at San Sebastian, controlling the ball and creating the better opportunities for most of the first half but failing to score. Despite all the positives, one player’s performance has drawn a lot of internet criticism.
Diogo Dalot Battles Sociedad in the First Half
On social media, one instance in particular sparked fury.
Wing-back Diogo Dalot has been criticised for his efforts despite the team’s strong first-half performance after the Portuguese international put in a clumsy performance. The defender inexplicably missed Rasmus Hojlund, who was trying to break an 18-game duck, by not crossing the ball to the striker who was coming down on goal in one particular moment, which infuriated United supporters online.
The defender lost possession an astounding 12 times in the first half alone, which summed up Dalot’s performance overall, even though this particular moment was the high point of his horror show in Spain. Additionally, he was observed dozing off defensively on a few times, which resulted in several careless fouls.

Fans expressed their opinions about the situation without holding back, with one commenting, “Dalot is a liability.” It is best if individuals discover this sooner rather than later. “Hojlund and Amorim were both furious after this, and rightly so,” someone else commented. He is seasoned and 25 years old. These easy passes should be made. No justifications.
A third leapt to Hojlund’s defence, saying, “When someone asks you how Rasmus Hojlund isn’t even getting any chances, show them this picture.” Hojlund has been without the service during his slump. Another was added: “Just a smiple ball to Hojlund and it’s one on one with a keeper.”
Dalot is a liability. The sooner people realise this, the better. https://t.co/Hxvl9gJUhb
