Manchester United fans furious that Philippe Coutinho Liverpool FC warning was ignored

Manchester United supporters are furious by the amount of space Philippe Coutinho was allowed when scoring for Barcelona on Tuesday night.

The former Liverpool midfielder netted a sensational goal to give Barcelona a three goal lead at the Nou Camp in the Champions League quarter-final, but supporters think it was unacceptable to concede.

Although the Brazil international did superbly well to find the back of the net from distance, many fans feels that United should have done their homework on Coutinho to prevent him scoring such a trademark goal.

The 26-year-old scored countless times for Liverpool by cutting onto his stronger foot from distance before smashing the ball into the far corner of the net.

Coutinho's goal marked the end of a torrid night for United fans, and after the game they hammered their defence for conceding such an inevitable effort.

Manchester United need to respond like Sir Alex Ferguson did vs FC Barcelona
