Francis Uzoho, the Nigerian goalkeeper, recently found himself under scrutiny as Manchester United fans took to social media to voice their frustrations over his less-than-stellar performance. The source of their discontent stemmed from Uzoho’s previous heroics when he thwarted the Red Devils during a Europa League contest at Old Trafford, putting in a remarkable display by making 12 saves for Omonia, which ultimately led to United’s 1-0 victory.

Uzoho’s outstanding performance in that match even earned him a nomination for Europa League Player of the Week. However, this time around, the 24-year-old goalkeeper’s showing did not receive similar applause. In a recent game against Saudi Arabia, he misjudged a simple ball into the box, inadvertently batting it into his own net.

Fans took to social media to express their surprise and disappointment, with some noting the contrast between his performances against United and other opponents. Uzoho’s memorable post-match press conference from October 2022, in which he expressed his dream to play at Old Trafford, resurfaced, adding a layer of irony to the situation.
