Bristol City sent Manchester United crashing out of the League Cup on Wednesday night after a famous giant-killing Ashton Gate.

A last-gasp winner from Korey Smith set the Robins up with a semi-final clash with Manchester City.

United picked a strong starting XI – 9 of which were full internationals – but Jose Mourinho was fuming with his side afterwards and accused them of not taking the game seriously enough.

While there were plenty of poor performances in the United ranks, Matteo Darmian came in for the strongest criticism from supporters.

The Italian’s rarely impressed since joining the club from Torino in 2015 and United fans were begging Mourinho to sell him after he was torn apart by the Championship outfit.

Matteo Darmian has to go down as one the worst signings in recent history. Has to be sold in January. #mufc

Darmian desperately needed out of this club. He'd make Jesus Navas look WC. Shambles of a player.

Darmian is one of the worst players I’ve ever seen play for United.

I’mma say it. I never want to see Darmian play for the club again.

Seems like a nice bloke but he’s absolutely shite at football.

Saw it coming a mile away. Just not good enough. Darmian doesn’t deserve to wear the shirt.

Thought Shaw was our best player last night, however Darmian was absolutely shocking!

Don’t think we should ever sign an Italian player ever again. They never seem to do well for us.. pic.twitter.com/bxoltfqkUO

The likes of Napoli and Inter Milan are said to be interested in Darmian and United are likely to accept a cut price for the Italian defender.

Darmian signed a four-year deal when he joined the club two years ago for £12m.
