And it was Almiron’s opener in the 28th minute that led to some intense criticism for Mount.

Tino Livramento won the ball back in the Toon’s own half, before going past the playmaker with absolute ease.

Livramento then played the Paraguay international a perfect ball at the back post from where his team-mate hit the back of the net.

United legend Gary Neville was so stunned he claimed the full-back went past Mount “like he’s not there”.

Fans took to social media immediately after Newcastle’s opener to voice their own shock.

Some even trolled United over recent reports suggesting the players have found their adidas kit to be “too tight”.

Paddy Power tweeted: “If only Mason Mount’s shirt wasn’t so tight, Livramento wouldn’t have been able to waltz past him as if he wasn’t there.”

Another commented: “What has happened Mason Mount, my God Livramento walked past him there.”

A third posted: “Mason Mount let Livramento have a clean run.”

This fan said: “Bro how can Livramento run past Mount like tha?”

And that one stated: “Livramento just absolutely rinsed us… Moved passed Mount like he was nothing.”
