- LISTEN NOW: It's all starting! New line-up, some new faces, but optimism has faded at Old Trafford
Neal Maupay took to social media to mock his parent club Everton after they suffered a 2-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
The Frenchman joined the Toffees in August 2022 from Brighton and left this summer to join Marseille on loan.
He is still under contract with Everton, but his contract with the Ligue 1 club lasts until the end of the season with an obligation to buy for £6 million, which will increase to £10 million if certain requirements are met.
Despite this, Maupay is clearly pleased with his parent club's struggles this season, with Sean Dyche's side sitting just three points clear of the relegation zone in 16th place.
