“This players don’t deserve to player for any team in the world. How did Erik ten Hag start this horrible players? We have better replacements for God’s sake”-Man Utd fans fumes as they demand two players who must be dropped after horrible performance against Porto and tell Erik ten Hag who should replace them

**Manchester United fans are expressing their frustrations loud and clear following a chaotic defensive display in the 3-3 Europa League draw against Porto. What initially seemed like a comfortable game quickly unraveled, with two key defenders facing heavy criticism. The fanbase is now demanding significant changes ahead of the club’s next Premier League match.**

The Red Devils started strong, taking a 2-0 lead within the first 20 minutes, thanks to a precise finish from Marcus Rashford and a composed strike from Rasmus Hojlund. It looked like everything was going smoothly for Erik ten Hag’s squad. However, the situation changed dramatically as Porto fought back, exposing Manchester United’s defensive weaknesses. Veteran defender Pepe scored, energizing the home crowd, and young striker Samu Omorodion followed up with two goals, completing a remarkable comeback for the Portuguese side.

Omorodion, a promising talent previously with Atletico Madrid, exploited United’s defense. His speed, strength, and clever movement caused constant problems for the central defensive duo of Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt, who were left struggling throughout the match. Their defensive shortcomings became painfully clear as Omorodion’s prowess led to repeated breakdowns in United’s backline.

By the 77th minute, United was trailing 3-2, prompting Ten Hag to make a change. In a move that indicated his lack of confidence in Martinez and De Ligt, both were substituted, with Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans brought in to shore up the defense. While Maguire has faced significant criticism in recent seasons, he managed to secure a point for United with a stoppage-time equalizer, preventing further humiliation.

Despite Maguire’s late heroics, the focus quickly shifted to the underperforming Martinez and De Ligt. Social media erupted with demands for their removal from the starting lineup, with many fans calling for defensive adjustments. With the expected return of Leny Yoro, a £52 million summer signing, supporters are hopeful he can provide the stability that has been lacking.

One frustrated fan expressed their thoughts online, stating, “Chuckle brothers to start at Villa Park on Sunday. Drop De Ligt & Martinez.” This comparison underscored the growing impatience with their frequent mistakes. Another supporter remarked, “De Ligt cannot start on Sunday. Martinez will be lucky to start,” emphasizing the urgent call for a defensive shake-up.

The discontent continued, with another fan insisting, “Get Leny Yoro back, man.” The young defender, currently sidelined due to injury, is viewed as a potential fix for United’s persistent defensive issues. A more direct comment read, “Leny Yoro can’t come back soon enough. First-choice pairing should be him and Maguire until Martinez and De Ligt sort themselves out.”

Maguire, often criticized for his performances, found unexpected support from fans, especially after his crucial goal. One fan even commented, “I need me a Leny Yoro and Harry Maguire partnership.” This shift in support for Maguire, along with excitement for Yoro’s return, reflects the fanbase’s desperation for defensive reform.

As pressure mounts on Erik ten Hag to reconsider his defensive strategy, he knows that his choices for the upcoming Premier League match, especially against Aston Villa at Villa Park, will face intense scrutiny. Will he continue with Martinez and De Ligt, or turn to other options?
