Joshua Zirkzee suffered a nightmare display for Manchester United after being hauled off on barely 30 minutes of play against Newcastle on Monday evening.
With United 2-0 down after 19 minutes at Old Trafford, Ruben Amorim took drastic action to try get his side back into the contest.
And that meant taking off Zirkzee, who was booed by United fans as he made his way off the pitch.
The Netherlands international did not hang around to hear the reception, making his way down the tunnel before being spotted with his coat on.

Kobbie Mainoo was brought on in Zirkzee’s spot, who was guilty of not tracking back enough with glaring holes in United’s midfield.
Zirkzee did eventually return to sit on the bench while United legend Gary Neville offered some sympathy to the forward.

A dramatic 2-1 victory over Manchester City failed to spark any sort of momentum, losing days after to Tottenham in the Carabao Cup.
The Red Devils were then thrashed 3-0 at home by Old Trafford before losing to Wolves, who had just replaced Gary O’Neil with Vitor Pereira.

With the January transfer window set to open in two days, it remains to be seen whether Amorim will be backed financially.
The Portuguese coach has arrived with a very distinct style of football that is almost at odds with his predecessor Erik ten Hag.
However, with results turning south so quickly, even Amorim has admitted he might already be on borrowed time.
In a shocking turn of events during the Newcastle vs. Manchester United match, young striker Joshua Zirkzee was booed by Man Utd fans and stormed down the tunnel in frustration.
The 20-year-old had been struggling to make an impact on the game, missing several key chances in front of goal. As the frustration grew among the fans, Zirkzee was met with a chorus of boos every time he touched the ball.
Unable to handle the pressure, Zirkzee had had enough and decided to storm down the tunnel before the final whistle blew. This move only further angered the fans, who felt he was showing a lack of commitment to the team.
The incident has left many questioning Zirkzee’s future at the club and whether he will be able to bounce back from this disappointing performance. Only time will tell if he can regain the trust and support of the fans.
