Manchester United mocked for dominant win.

Even after their dominant 7-0 hammering of Barnsley in the EFL Cup third round, Manchester United have found that they can not get past the internet trolls.

Manchester United dismantle Barnsley

Manchester United had a resounding 7-0 victory over Barnsley in the EFL Cup, with Erik Ten Hag achieving his largest win as the Red Devils’ manager. 

Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, and Christian Eriksen each scored two goals, and Antony added one from the penalty spot, giving Manchester United a great start to their cup campaign.

Rashford, marking his 200th home appearance, opened the scoring, followed by Antony’s successful penalty. 

Garnacho scored the third goal just before halftime, rounding off a comfortable first half for Manchester United.

In the second half, Garnacho scored his second goal after a long run, and Rashford added two more goals after a defensive error by Barnsley. 

Christian Eriksen then sealed the win with two goals, both assisted by Bruno Fernandes.

Manchester United mocked for dominant win

Despite their emphatic win, Manchester United was still the subject of jokes on social media as fans claimed that the Red Devils were finally playing against opponents of their level in the EFL Cup. 

The 7-0 win over Barnsley, who are currently sixth in League One, sparked comic taunts from rival fans who believed that the Red Devils were only able to enjoy such a dominant win over a team that was lower in the English football hierarchy. 

Manchester United will have the chance to silence the doubters when they return to action against a team of their calibre in the Premier League as they play against Crystal Palace at the weekend.

Below are a few comments from United fans.

@haroldwrites – Manchester United finally found their level. They should be the ones relegated to the championship, not City.

@RegardlessYrn – just overhyped they can’t even rated Top 5 this season

@LfcToyyib – They don’t perform against the big teams, one of the reasons why I think Chelsea is a much better team than them

@ the_berneese_ – You really found your level cos ain’t no way Manchester United is doing this at the Premier League
