Fans showed their fury after Manchester United suffered a shocking defeat against Hull City, the newly promoted Premier League side, losing 0-2 in a dismal start to the season.
As the final whistle blew, the players traditionally made their way to the away end at the MKM Stadium to thank the travelling supporters for their backing. However, there was no one left to acknowledge, as disappointed fans had deserted the stands long before the match concluded.
Michael Carrick's men delivered a lacklustre performance, conceding two goals from set-pieces and failing to muster a coherent response. This loss resulted in a series of unwanted records for the Red Devils: it marked the first time they have ever lost to Hull City in league history, the first time in the Premier League era that they have been defeated by a newly promoted team on the opening day, and it was the first run of defeats in opening fixtures for the club since the early 1970s.
Images of the virtually empty away section quickly circulated on social media, serving as a stark message to the players and coaching staff about the inacceptability of such results.
