Diogo Dalot stood out more than Senne Lammens for Manchester United fans for one reason during the Premier League clash against Aston Villa at Old Trafford.

Manchester United hosted Aston Villa for their final Premier League match before the November international break and suffered an immediate collapse on Sunday.

Man Utd fans stunned by reaction from inside Old Trafford to Diogo Dalot coming off against Aston Villa

Aston Villa restored their advantage early in the second half after John McGinn netted against Senne Lammens from the spot-kick. Leon Goretzka then fired Villa into a 4-2 lead only five minutes after John McGinn’s penalty.

Diogo Dalot had a hand in Villa’s first-half opener for his poor positioning and the 27-year-old full-back’s woes were furthered in the second half. The Manchester United right-back, who has been playing as a makeshift left-back, committed the challenge that led to Villa’s penalty in the second half.

Diogo Dalot was pulled off in the 66th minute for Patrick Dorgu and United fans on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, could not unhear or unsee the reaction towards the underperforming Red Devils defender.

An X user tweeted: “Dalot getting booed off screams volumes, doesn’t it?”

“Diogo Dalot booed as he comes off. Shea Lacey gets a standing ovation as he comes on,” another Man Utd supporter shared.

While a third Red Devils fan posted: “Dalot getting booed. I don’t condone it, but his performance has been that bad.”

“Tough moment for Dalot, but the crowd’s frustration reflects how tense things are at United,” someone else added.

A fifth said: “The reaction to Dalot’s [substitution] was darkkk [sic].”

“I’ve not seen anything in Old Trafford like how they booed Dalot there. That was damning,” another wrote.

Somebody else claimed: “Dalot getting booed and ironically cheered off.”

And an eighth commented: “Never heard that kind of reaction from OT [Old Trafford] to a player being substituted! Pretty brutal for Dalot […].”

Following the Premier League encounter with Villa at Old Trafford, Man Utd will now be out of action for two weeks due to the November international break. The Red Devils will travel to Anfield for their first Premier League match post-international break, as Liverpool will host United on 22nd November for a 4:30 pm kick-off time in the UK.
