Defender Varane appeared to vent his frustration at the long-serving midfielder, who viewers accused of being unable to keep hold of the ball in Sunday’s Premier League clash.

One fan posted: “Not a single ball to him has stuck it’s embarrassing.”

Another said: “Varane appeared to be shouting at McTominay there. #mufc need so much more from their front four, mainly the three behind Hojlund. Their use of the ball has been poor.”

One observer said: “Varane giving the ‘captain’ a b****king.”

A common verdict was: “Scott McTominay – Manchester United’s captain away at Liverpool – cannot pass a football five yards.”

In contrast, Academy product Kobbie Mainoo was praised for his all-round efforts in the centre.

One fan said: “Sofyan Amrabat looking lost, McTominay a waste of space and can’t control or pass the ball, while 18-year-old Kobbie Mainoo is showing them levels.”

Liverpool’s momentum continued after the break as they attempted to leapfrog Arsenal back to the top of the Prem.

And while Jurgen Klopp’s Reds racked up chances and possession, United saw Mainoo and Amrabat pick up yellow cards in the first hour.
