United faithfuls took to Twitter to verbally attack Solskjaer for the tactical blunder involving Fred and Williams who were physically bullied by Van Dijk.

"One of the worst Man United teams I've ever seen," tweeted one fan. "And for this zonal marking, it's an absolute joke. Why Ole Solskjaer hasn't told Maguire to mark Van Dijk at all costs is even worse!"

Another said: "Is Solskjaer really as silly to have Fred and Williams picking up Van Dijk. If that's his decision it beggars belief. What on earth is he expecting to happen?"

A third tweeted: "Great tactical decision by Solskjaer to have Fred Mark Van Dijk from set pieces." And a fourth concluded: "Blame Solskjaer for that one. Zonal Marking is b*******. Williams on Van Dijk. Dead on."
