The North London side then scored four goals without reply to record a 6-1 win.

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford took to apologise to the club’s global fanbase. ‘First and foremost I'm a United fan, This is my club. I'm so proud to wear this shirt but there are no excuses, it's just not good enough and to every single fan around the world that tuned in today, I'm just so sorry,’ said the Englishman.

David De Gea also asked for forgiveness from Manchester United faithful as he wrote ‘We feel exactly like you. No excuses. Sorry’ on his social media.

Manchester United skipper Harry Maguire wrote ‘Today was totally unacceptable, we apologise to the fans, you deserve so much more. There’s no excuses. One thing for sure is that we will do everything we can to put this right.’
