Another added: “Just forfeit at this point.”
A third commented: “Embarrassing on all levels! On and off the pitch.”
Those who did remain in their seats for the entirety of the first-half booed off the Leicester players when the whistle went and held a banner in protest against club chief Jon Rudkin.
The home fans also showed their frustrations throughout the game often jeering when their side misplaced simple passes.
Ruud van Nistelrooy‘s side are all-but relegated as they are a whopping 15 points from safety with seven games remaining of the season.
