Jordan Pickford cost Everton the Merseyside derby on Sunday when he gifted Divock Origi a 96th minute winner.
The England No 1 has been linked with a move to Old Trafford should De Gea be allowed to leave.
“That was poor from De Gea, should’ve been easy save,” another said.
Another fan tweeted: “De Gea is allergic to cleansheets nowadays #MUNARS.”
One United fan defender his goalkeeper: “De Gea is allowed to make mistakes, he’s earned that right.”
Another said: “Someone tell me why De Gea is still spoke about as one of the worlds best this season.”
One fan made a huge claim about the goalkeeper. “Unpopular opinion: David De Gea is the reason for United’s poor defence this season. He needs to be replaced sooner than Young or Smalling. Bang average keeper.”
