Furious Man United Fans 'Tear United Defender Apart' After Wilfried Gnonto Scores Leeds Opener In First Minute

Manchester United fans are furious with Diogo Dalot after Leeds forward Wilfried Gnonto scored inside first minute of the match at Old Trafford.

Dalot made his return to the United starting XI after Red Devils manager Erik ten Hag confirmed Aaron Wan-Bissaka was ruled out of action due to illness.

The 23-year-old Portuguese right-back had been sidelined with a hamstring injury after representing Portugal at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Dalot’s absence had allowed Wan-Bissaka, who was linked with a move away from Old Trafford, to re-establish himself in the United XI under Ten Hag.

However, the Portugal defender endured a nightmare start upon his return to the United line-up after Leeds stunned the Red Devils inside the opening minute.

Pascal Struijk won the ball off Bruno Fernandes before he found Gnonto, with the Italy international drilling a stunning strike past David de Gea from 20 yards out.

United fans were quick to blame both Fernandes and Dalot for Gnonto’s opener, with Dalot ruthlessly blasted on social media.

Below are some of the reactions culled by infoexpert24 from Twitter:

“First minute of Dalot playing football for us again and we concede,” one fan said.

Dalot has been the most laziest player in that half
Very sloppy passes

Can’t lie I’d rather Wan Bissaka was playing against Gnonto than Dalot. Shame he’s out! Kid is talented. Big test for Dalot to come back into! #mufc

Bissaka is better than Dalot by far, so is Martial to Weghorst

Stop deceiving yourself, Dalot is not better than Wan Bissaka

That’s the worst half after Brentford this season. Dalot has been fucking shit. His decision to give Bruno a hospital pass was awful
