'Relegation' trends on X as Everton fans taunt Man Utd with brutal 'going down' chants after watching woeful Red Devils fall apart at Goodison Park

David Moyes’ men showed no mercy, exploiting United’s frailties at set-pieces to carve out two close-range finishes. Beto broke the deadlock with a clinical strike after United failed to clear their lines from a corner, marking his fifth goal in just four games. Abdoulaye Doucoure then doubled the advantage, reacting quickest to a loose ball after Andre Onana’s save from Jack Harrison fell perfectly into his path.

With Everton in complete control, the home supporters revelled in their team's superiority, making their feelings known about United’s poor performance under Ruben Amorim. Chants of "going down" echoed around the stadium, a brutal jab at a club that find themselves in crisis and sit 15th in the Premier League standings. The taunts were further amplified on social media, where “relegation” became a trending topic with rival fans jumping at the opportunity to mock the 20-time Premier League winners.

A Liverpool fan @ballondorSALAH wrote: "The funniest thing about United is their early-season points are the only thing keeping them out of a relegation scrap. TEN HAG IS KEEPING UNITED IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE!!! 🤣🤣🤣."

Whereas am Arsenal fan, @now_arsenaI, wrote: "I’m not even exaggerating, Manchester United are so lucky there are three really bad teams in the league this season, because they genuinely should be in a relegation battle. That’s how bad they are."

Meanwhile, @AFCPhrase predicted: "Manchester United are actually heading towards relegation boys. 😂😂😂😂."

@UTDTrey agreed: "9 LOSSES IN OUR LAST 13 PREMIER LEAGUE GAMES. WE ARE A RELEGATION TEAM."

@AmorimBalll_ chose to thank Amad and wrote: "Amad & Lisandro Martinez saved us from relegation. We’d have lost the other games too but thankfully they bailed us out."

For Everton, this performance was a stark contrast to the 4-0 hammering they suffered at Old Trafford just a few months ago - one of the defining moments that signalled the end of Sean Dyche’s tenure. That humiliating loss marked the beginning of a downward spiral for the club, but Moyes' return to the blue half of Merseyside has completely changed the mood at Goodison Park.

Amorim was tasked with producing a turnaround in fortunes after Erik ten Hag was shown the door. However, it has been freefall for the Red Devils as the Portuguese manager has managed to win just four Premier League games out of 15. Although a late surge, thanks to goals from Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte, helped the Red Devils clinch a point from the fixture, they were the second-best for the bulk of the match. Now, Amorim must stop the rot before facing Fulham in the FA Cup on March 2, with United needing to vastly improve to defend their crown.
