Bruno Fernandes' season hit a new low with a red card in Manchester United's 3-0 defeat to Tottenham as he slipped and made a dangerous high challenge on James Maddison.
The Red Devils trailed 1-0 at the time after an insipid first half which Gary Neville labelled one of the "worst performances" under Erik ten Hag.
"It just sums up Manchester United in this first half, to be fair they've been an absolute disgrace. It's one of the worst performances I've seen in Erik ten Hag's time at Manchester United and that's saying something," blasted Neville on Sky Sports.
"It's been really bad. And he will not be able to believe what he's watched. I'm not talking patterns of play, I'm talking application to a football match. And now, his captain sent off.
"When players react like that, it means something has gone on that we haven't seen initially. He's gone knee high Bruno Fernandes. I think he slips just before the tackle but he's not going to get away with it."
Fernandes' red card places him amongst a notorious quartet, joining the ranks of Roy Keane, Nemanja Vidic and Wayne Rooney as one of only four United captains expelled at Old Trafford in the league's history.
The Portuguese skipper's blunder was preceded by another early setback for United as Micky van de Ven's daring run handed Brennan Johnson a simple finish within the opening three minutes.
Tottenham were in complete control during the first half, with United only managing to hold 37 per cent of the possession and two shots on target.
Things got worst in the second half as Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke piled on the pain for the home team. United managed just two shots on target all match.
Neville added at the end of the match: "Brilliant for Tottenham - and we should say that first. For Manchester United, they are booing the ref, but that is not even half the story.
"In the first half they have put in their worst performance. It was an absolutely disgusting performance. in the first half in effort, in quality - in everything you'd want from a football team. There are a lot of questions to answer. for that group and the manager."
