Erik ten Hag has found himself on the receiving end after Manchester United fans spotted what he did immediately after the full-time whistle of their Premier League clash against Crystal Palace.
United have been far from convincing under the Dutchman this term, with the English giants enduring a mixed run of form and results in all competitions.
The Red Devils' disastrous run continued on Monday night when they were dismantled 4-0 by the Eagles at Selhurst Park, with the result further denting their hopes of securing a Europa League spot for next season.

Jean-Phillippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell also scored a goal a piece to contribute to the hosts' convincing win.
While the loss left United fans unhappy, what ten Hag did at the end of the match has further left the supporters questioning his suitability for the job.
The Dutchman is understood to have walked straight down the tunnel after the full-time whistle as his charges applauded the away end shortly after the match.
Ten Hag's failure to recognise fans who stuck by the team through the difficult period has seen him come under fire, with a section of them claiming it could be a sign he won't keep his job.

"Have some shame. Awful behaviour."
@c1ties joked:
"Gotta catch his flight from Gatwick in an hour."
@UtdEra_ noted:
"Some take responsibility for awful defeats, others are complete cowards."
@4545Deep concluded:
"Should be sacked today itself. I can't see him being the coach from now on. Certainly not in the next season."
