Manchester United were the butt of social media jokes after surprisingly losing 2-1 to Bristol City in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
Korey Smith’s stoppage-time strike secured a stunning victory at Ashton Gate.
What this means is that United, the competition’s defending champions, will play no part in the semi-final.
Instead, Bristol will now face Manchester City in the last four while Chelsea battle Arsenal.
Rival fans couldn’t help but chuckle over Jose Mourinho team’s latest debacle.
💰Total cost…
– Bristol City’s entire squad: £24M
– Paul Pogba: £83M#BRCvMUN pic.twitter.com/ZUiXBfVDqP

Best thing about that was Bristol City didn’t even have to park the bus. Just beat United fair by taking the game to them and playing great football, with a squad worth £24m.

Mourinho actually claiming Bristol City were “lucky” after losing fair and square with one of the most expensively assembled sides in history, the sheer audacity.

Pep spends but gets result. The other one spends but loses to Bristol City, a club that is only better than MFM because they are in England. Or does Bristol also have more money than united?
