A distressed Manchester United supporter joked that television broadcasters made him resemble a glow stick after broadcast equipment captured him holding his head in despair during another dismal outing at Old Trafford.
The red-haired fan gained unexpected attention when television producers focused on him amid United's 3-0 loss against Bournemouth.
He subsequently found humor in his sudden visibility, making light of his appearance on screen.
Writing on X under the profile name Tom Goodall, the spectator stated, "I know I'm ginger but my god, Sky Sports have made me look like a glow stick."
His reaction mirrored the gloom inside Old Trafford as Michael Carrick's struggling squad endured another dismal loss.
Bournemouth opened the scoring via Rayan in the 38th minute before Marcus Tavernier doubled the lead five minutes later.
Evanilson sealed the victory in the 71st minute, leaving United fans angry and bewildered.
The defeat stretched United's winless streak to eight matches across all competitions, dropping them into 16th position in the Premier League.
This followed a 4-1 Champions League defeat against Italian club Como just four days prior.
Carrick had earlier provoked discussion by benching captain Bruno Fernandes following the Portuguese player's public criticism of tactics after that loss.
The strategy failed as United delivered another poor performance, with Fernandes staying on the bench for the entire match.
Angry fans directed boos at the squad while visiting Bournemouth supporters mocked Carrick by chanting "sacked in the morning".
Even so, the United supporters maintained support for their former midfielder, clapping for him as he toured the pitch following the final whistle.
Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher both indicated that Carrick's job had become unsustainable, with Carragher pushing for United to dismiss him to protect both the organization and the coach.
Carrick maintained that his emotional post-match walk was not a goodbye, though with United sitting merely one point clear of the relegation zone, his status is heavily questioned.
