And fans quickly produced their famous green-and-yellow scarves before bursting into songs aiming digs at chief executive Woodward and the Glazer owners.

Fans started chanting Love United, hate Glazers after going 2-0 down at home to Burnley for the third year running.

They then began to sign We want United back.

And they ended with a burst of Stand up if you hate Glazers.

United lined up without Marcus Rashford after he was ruled out for at least six weeks with a back injury.

But the Red Devils got off to a slow start and found themselves behind in the 39th minute thanks to a strike from Chris Wood.

Jay Rodriguez secured Burnleys stunning victory with a howitzer of a shot in the 56th minute.

Former United star Rio Ferdinand was critical of the home teams defending especially that of new captain Harry Maguire.

Ferdinand told BT Sport: “600m has been spent on this squad, but on what?

“I see nothing that shows foundations of the future. I am embarrassed.

“It is embarrassing to be here. I dont know what is coming next or what the target or pathway is.

“Put this result one side. The foundations being put in pace for this squad isnt there.

“Money has been spent willy-nilly for last 7 years. Whats to show for it? You cant defend this.

“These young kids in schools will not be wearing man united shirts based on what you’re seeing out there.

“Fans were walking out after 85 minutes. People at the top need to see this and make changes and put a plan in place

Forty three per cent of the goals they have conceded this season have come from set pieces.

It’s terrible. Maguire you’re the captain, you’ve got the armband, go and be commanding.

What are you doing there, Maguire? He doesn’t anticipate it.

You can’t be that far off and allow that space. [He is] not close enough and [gets punished]. That’s too easy.”
