Joshua Zirkzee was sarcastically cheered off by Manchester United fans when he was substituted in the first half against Newcastle.
The Dutch forward started the match but was brought off for Kobbie Mainoo on 33 minutes with the Magpies 2-0 up.
Zirkzee walked up to the United bench and grabbed a coat before walking along the side of the pitch.
Fans in the stands at Old Trafford could be heard jeering the 23-year-old as he made his way off the pitch before he disappeared down the tunnel.
This was momentarily though as Zirkzee returned to the dugout as United played the rest of the first half in need of a response.
Red Devils legend Gary Neville said on commentary for Sky Sports: “I actually feel sorry for him, I really do.
“I know that he’s earning a lot of money, but there’s a human being in there that’s basically being cheered off by his own fans.
“That is brutal. I’ve not seen that too many times at Old Trafford in the 43 years I’ve been coming here.”
Alexander Isak opened the scoring for Newcastle with an unmarked header before Joelinton doubled the visitors’ lead.
