# Everton: Fans slam Alex Iwobi’s display v Man Utd

**Many Everton fans have been slamming the performance of Alex Iwobi in their 4-0 pre-season defeat at Manchester United on Saturday afternoon.**

The Nigeria international [missed](https://twitter.com/Everton/status/1423978554178641923) a good chance to bring the Toffees back into the game midway through the first half, as they were already 2-0 down at that point to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men.

Iwobi did not have a great game in general as Twitter fan page [The Everton End](https://twitter.com/TheEvertonEnd/status/1423984705544855552) voiced their frustrations with the winger during the match, which prompted a lot of negative reaction.

With the new Premier League season starting on Friday night, Rafa Benitez would have not been convinced by the Nigerian’s performance, and so the 25-year-old could well face being dropped to the bench for their opener.

He has played 65 times for Everton competitively but scored a paltry four goals in that time and has set up just four more ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alex-iwobi/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/242631/verein/29)) – centre-back Michael Keane netted [three league goals](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/31/Show/England-Everton) last season alone – while he has [drawn the ire](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/everton-fans-slam-alex-iwobi-after-jay-jay-okocha-comments/) of some Toffees fans in the past.
