Manchester United just lost 3-0 at home to Bournemouth on Sunday. Supporters booed the players off the pitch.
The club's crisis deepened. The loss extended an eight-match winless run.
United is now 16th in the 20-team Premier League. Manager Michael Carrick is under huge pressure.
He signed a permanent contract barely five months ago. Carrick escaped the fans' anger while players were jeered.
Captain Bruno Fernandes was dropped from the starting line-up. Carrick described it as a pure football decision.
Fernandes had publicly criticised the manager's tactics after a 4-1 Champions League loss to Como. Bournemouth's goals came from Rayan, Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson.
United's defence crumbled. The club has won just one of eight league matches this season.
