Manchester United fans react as West Ham United knock the Red Devils out of the Carabao Cup
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Manchester United were knocked out of the Carabao Cup at home as West Ham United held out for a 1-0 win at Old Trafford.
David Moyes’s side have United a real fight in their Premier League clash at the weekend. While the Red Devils may have triumphed on that occasion, they could find no way past a resolute Hammers defence at home.
In the end, an early first half-strike by Manuel Lanzini proved to be the difference-maker. United had a number of attempts at goal but failed to show off a clinical edge to their game. While the Carabao Cup may not be our top priority, being knocked out this early is very underwhelming.

The much-changed United side were missing some of their best players. It however included summer signing Jadon Sancho and had enough quality to see off West Ham.
Despite dominating possession and having more shots, United were just unable to find a way past West Ham. For now, former boss David Moyes is the one who will depart Old Trafford with a smile on his face.
According to Manchester Evening News, Solskjaer was serenaded by the Stretford End at full-time. While being supported is well and good, just how long fans will be ready to put up with the Norwegian falling short remains to be seen.
We take a look at how some fans reacted to the loss on Twitter.
If this game proves anything, it’s that Van de beek can replace Fred

I really need Ole to scream at the players instead of talking gossip with McKenna and Carrick on the bench… Maybe the players would seem more motivated if he showed more feelings on the sideline – passion could make up for lack of tactical knowledge… #OleOut

What a pathetic performance. Henderson MOTM and he didn’t do anything until the last minutes. Ole waited entirely too long to bring on Greenwood. Martial is done. Absolutely useless.

Beyond embarrassing. I’m not Ole Out, but every game I watch makes me realize we have no system, no tactics, and zero competent midfielders at the club.

The biggest joke that has ever happened to United is having Ole upto this time as a manager.

Note this, United will never win any trophies with Ole. Be it Premier, UEFA or any other league trophy. #Oleout
