'Bring on United' read the banner. It is unlikely many of their supporters will demand Erik ten Hag bring on Harry Maguire this season.
From Australia to the United States to Ireland, boos have followed Maguire across land and sea. He was initially applauded warmly at the Aviva Stadium but then turned attack into defence and Nico Williams pounced to put Athletic Bilbao ahead.
The booing was possibly louder than at the MCG, where United's communications department suggested it was part of the cricketing sledging culture.
Shane Warne would have admired that spin. There comes a moment in every player's career when he has to accept he is done. Maguire is done at United.
