Man Utd fans call for club to be liquidated as Tom Heaton’s horror blunder sees them go behind against Hong Kong

MANCHESTER UNITED’S season has sunk to embarrassing new lows just as fans were thinking it couldn’t get any worse.

Tom Heaton managed to fumble a shot that was going straight at him into the net and give Hong Kong the lead in a post-season friendly.

United finished the season empty-handed following a 1-0 loss to Tottenham in the Europa League final.

The trophyless Red Devils also managed to end the season in 15th place – their lowest ever Premier League finish.

The squad were then taken to Asia for their post-season tour, which soon saw them suffering new levels of humiliation.

First, they were taken to the stadium in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for their match against ASEAN All-Stars in an open-top bus, despite suffering a season that did nothing to justify any kind of celebration.

Then, they were beaten 1-0 by the ASEAN All-Stars thanks to a goal from Myanmar international Maung Maung Lwin.

But any hopes that the United team might be spurred into a reaction in their next game away to the Hong Kong national team appeared to be dashed early on.

19 minutes into the match, 34-year-old striker Juninho shrugged off a defender and fired a low shot towards Heaton, which slipped through the three-cap England goalkeeper’s hands and into the net.

Following the goal, Man Utd fans were understandably fuming at the embarrassing new depths to which their club had sunk.

One wrote: “Bruh liquidate this club”

Another posted: “Na we are actually cooked”

A third commented: “Absolute laughing stock of a club”

And a fourth stated: “Ffs man. These got beat by Liechtenstein btw”

Hong Kong were indeed beaten 1-0 by Liechtenstein in a friendly in Vaduz last October.

Their last international match took place two weeks ago, when they drew 0-0 in Singapore.

In World Cup qualifying they came bottom of a group featuring Iran, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan after picking up just two points from the six games.
