Paul Pogba effortlessly sets up goal for Henrikh Mkhitaryan
Manchester United beat Tottenham 1-0 but the game was goalless at half-time with both clubs producing a first-half snooze fest.
The Red Devils won to narrow the gap on league leaders Manchester City to two points.
And fans ripped into Mkhitaryan, slating the Armenia international for an insipid and lacklustre first-half display.
“Lingard for Mkhi,” @ManUtdUpdate_s said.
“Martial for Mkhitrayan, Mata for Herrera,” @NaomiMUFC said.
“Bench mkhi now,” said @Mikiahnarmi - despite the player making up part of his Twitter handle.
“Anyone for mkhi hes useless,” @DMCI6955 waded in with.
“Mkhitaryan has basically been invisible in the No. 10 role and he seems to want no part of tracking back on defense. Needs to show up,” @Aobrien7 said.
Mkhitaryan's form has dipped after a promising start to the campaign.

Man Utd fans are savaging Henrikh Mkhitaryan
United do, however, have plenty in reserve and Jose Mourinho may look to shuffle his pack for their upcoming games.
Jesse Lingard is one option with the England international inspiring their 2-0 Carabao Cup win over Swansea in midweek.
Juan Mata is also accustomed to playing in the No10 role.
And, should Mourinho opt for a change of formation, today's match winner Anthony Martial could be given the nod.
