Nigerian football fans have expressed their anger and annoyance, after spotting Manchester United's Tyrell Malacia posting picture of his tackle on Alex Iwobi.

The Dutch professional footballer took to his social media to share the photo, expressing joy at the Red Devils progressing to the round of 32 in the FA Cup, after beating Iwobi's Everton.
