SOME Manchester United fans are disgusted after Marouane Fellaini was booed twice - whilst he was warming up and again as he was substituted on against Tottenham.

Jose Mourinho's side won the match 1-0, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan bagging his first Premier League goal and first at Old Trafford.

But despite making 24 appearances under the Special One this term he is still hated by a fraction of United fans.

United legend Gary Neville was not impressed by the conduct of some of the fans at Old Trafford.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Neville said: “United fans are booing Marouane Fellaini. That’s poor.

“Some of them have started to clap because you don’t want to see United fans booing players when they’re warming up here.

“It’s poor to see. He may not be their favourite player but that’s a step too far.”

Although some supporters have hit out after the match and have defended the Belgian, whilst also criticising those at Old Trafford who decided to boo him.

With United just having a one-goal lead, some supporters may have feared that his introduction to the field would have led to them conceding a goal.

But fans on Twitter said that it was not the United way to boo one of your own players.
