Booo!
Booing our own players would you?

- Start date
I'll slap every single one of them.
Actually not booing them means you're a rival fan at this point.

Booing them is necessarily needed so the club hierarchy knows that fans want most of these lot out of the club. Something has got to give. They need to know that this is the lowest the club can go before the fans’ patience breaks.
But but... It wont help only make them play worse and felt bad
This could be the first season where a final day lap of honour could pose a genuine security risk 
Top reds in the mud
Folks have to go to work with Liverpool fans today. Sure, it may not be the right thing to do, but booing the pieces of tripe that lost 4-0 to Liverpool is possibly the most human reaction ever.
Sure. Works for Madrid. They seem to win everything.
Not giving a feck playing Against your biggest rivals .100%
It works.
He was hurt by the reaction? That's just heartbreaking, poor guy 
Was going to ask what he expected but honestly the lack of self awareness in this squad is astounding.
He's been free to sign for a new club for the last few months. He's been needing a new challenge since 2 years ago. What exactly is holding him back?
He was going to leave anyway. But, even so, I'd never boo a United player.
All it can possibly achieve is to lower his confidence or lower the asking price when we want to sell him on. Both cases result in us cutting off our nose to spite our face.
I’m sure a glance at his bank balance will cheer him up.He was hurt by the reaction? That's just heartbreaking, poor guy
tbf at this point, I find it completely pointless to boo the players.
Their morale is at an all-time low and booing will just add more to the problem instead of being a solution since most of them just don't have the mentality to bounce back from all the negativity and criticism surrounding them and the club.
The best for us and most of them is that they just go somewhere else. That way the club can start fresh with players that actually want to be here and they can try to either recover their morale back or play in a team that is more at their level.

Those players are paid multiples of millions to represent our fans ( who pay their wages?) and our club. If they play shite while showing a complete lack of effort why shouldn't they be booed? It's gone too far now. Get rid of these substandard embarrassing players. What happened last night needs calling out! They should be deeply ashamed!
They have been awful for the whole season. They were even clapped during the 0-5 humiliation. They should be booed from the first second. The don't deserve a 50th chance.
Its clear he hasnt found a club willing to pay what he's asking, thats why I fear he'll renew. Hopefully we arent as braindead to do that, but it wouldnt surprise me one bit if we did.
I would boo them till the cows come home and when the cows do come home I'd get them to fecking boo as well.
In my experience today was a bit like Souness last night. We made it to easy that they were nearly feeling sorry for us and I didn't get any slagging but more sympathy.
Not sure if that's worse to be honest
I think it's mandatory to boo or be loud if a player, who doesn't respect the shirt and badge. Also, if they are shite, then it's totally fine to speak up. Because... don't be then. Get yourself together, handle the pressure, deal with it. You get paid obscene amount of money and fans booing are affecting your mental strength? Maybe then you need to find another profession, another football club where standards aren't that high or... get yourself together.
The main problem with United fans is that we tend to be too polite and give too much room for players, the board and staff. United is meant to play in finals, compete for trophies, not that kind of crap which we have seen during last 10 years. It's standards and standards and its following make the difference between bad, okay, good, great and elite club. Easy.

If some of our players were playing for Madrid, they'd have been booed so badly they'd be hiding under rocks and coaches would be afraid to pick them in training matches.
Because you want them team to do well and said player could be standing in the way of that. Poor form is one thing, no effort and an elitist attitude is another, and don't expect to get away with the later.
How will we know how to properly support our team if they don't tell us?
We should have done this bloody year's ago and not just with players but managers as well, I wish we adopted a barca/madrid fans mentality of never accepting standards to drop.
We have been way too easy on everyone from top to bottom.of the club as fans

Who now gives a toss about their morale!!
We should let ‘em have both barrels - they deserve no more - charlatans in red shirts. I couldn’t give a shite about their on-going careers, value in the market, precious fragile egos. They signed the daft contracts they were given by our thick board but that does not give them the ‘get out’ by default of downing tools and further sullying the name of our club.
If they played for ANY other ‘huge’ club they would have got it from their fan bases on match days months ago. They can all feck off - the sooner the better…unrealistic I know but they don’t seem to realise that putting in a shift and showing desire is the bare minimum from a footballer let alone a footballer at our so called elite level.
Agreed. We have fans who are happy for the club to be a charity for overpaid players.
Yep. Some weirdos think these players should be supported no matter what. Applaud and cheer their laziness, give them pay rises, roll out the fecking red carpet because they wear the red shirt... Sod that. Boo them and get them out of the club
The bolded
Not as hurt as us fans have been watching him collect a weekly wage that most take a decade to earn whilst performing at piss poor levels for pretty much the whole of the past 5 years and costing a world record fee, feck him and good riddance to him and his fat cnut agent.
Or it could shake these wasters out of their hubris-infused lethargy and actually encourage the board to sell them when there is a chance to do so (see Lingard, Jesse, aka the man-child who posted a picture of himself in another team’s jersey.)
Never!
I generally hate the hetz some United fans have had against the players in recent times. I find it embarrassing and unintelligent. I can mention Lingard, Fellaini, Jones, Lukaku, Maguire, Rashford and Shaw as some examples, where the line has been crossed. I think it's an unhealthy and aggressive fan culture. It's okay to criticize a player for a poor performance, but the criticism becomes too personal and unvarnished. It becomes more hate. I think one should try to support the players as much as possible. For example, I'm not a big fan of Dalot. I think he's the worst fullback United have had in many years. But I could never think of booing him or getting hateful in my statements about him on a fansite.

Support mediocrity?
Fans have been way too soft. To the point that players think it's okay to play poor and mug us off.
Just not acceptable and I'd say the fans are more than entitled to boo when the players aren't putting in a shift. Many fans give up hours in travelling to attend and spend alot (to them) to enjoy the day only to see the team not care.
Feck the players and their feelings, I'll always love and support the club but those players (with exception to the few that can hold their heads high) should rightfully be boo'd. Can't believe the state of some fans, let's applaud, cheer and clap the side that make no effort. Reward the team for just turning up and rolling over for a spanking.
Give your head a wobble...Jesus.
It's not my thing, but if the club's perception of a player does not align with the fans, i do feel the fans need to be heard out.
ie: players running down their contracts with less than 6 months left, playing sh*t and blocking youngsters are fair game.

Nope. I’ll criticise players for not being good enough, or for not having the right mentality, even managers but I won’t boo them on the pitch. Because at the match I’m going to support Manchester United, booing a player or manager is booing part of what I’m going to support.
But don’t get me wrong. Maybe booing is correct. The teams whose fans do it get criticised but those teams don’t end up having 10+ year rebuilds.
I'd happily boo the collective right now. Booing individual players for the current state we're in is asinine because nobody is playing particularly well.
The entire club is completely rotten right now. I understand being frustrated at Rashford, Maguire, Pogba, AWB etc. for their poor form (I also understand that with Pogba there is also the constant touting of himself to other clubs, in fairness) but none of them are single-handedly culpable for the rut we find ourselves in.
We've been stuck with the complacent mindset that all we need to do is replace underperforming players with "better" ones in the transfer window, and it's prevented us from instilling a wholesale cultural revamp that should have taken place years ago. Again, boo the team for their crap performances because right now they do not deserve our cheers, but taking it out on particular players is going to solve absolutely nothing.

I watched Utd Middlesborough probably 16 years or so ago. The crowd booing and Gary Neville going mad at them.at home.
I remember thinking, I wouldn't be doing that myself and then a mate said. Imagine you as the fan are contributing to these players wages as an employer (big stretch I appreciate) you'd want the best from your staff.
I'm still not a booer but it did make me stop. These guys now never mind then are getting payed to play best game in the world. Context wise we all hate losing a 5 a side. I don't see the passion. I hate it but still can't boo. Ironically I'm sure we went to win the CL the year after that game v Middlesborough

Anybody who puts even £1 in to following the club, be it tickets, a brew at half time, merchandise or anything else has every right to boo them.
