Several Tottenham fans have taken to Twitter to comment on Mousa Dembele’s performance during Spurs’ FA Cup semi-final with Manchester United – and it appears that many are starting to question whether the Belgian should remain such an integral part of the team.

And while the club will not actively look to sell the 30-year-old, they do have a couple of replacements in mind already.

While he was not the only player who will be extremely disappointed with his display, Dembele definitely did not enjoy a good afternoon as he was knocked off the ball too easily by Paul Pogba in the seconds leading up to United’s equaliser.

He struggled to stamp his usual authority on the game, and that has prompted a number of Spurs fans to suggest that it was one of his worst performances for the club, while the supporters also urged Daniel Levy to make sure that they find a replacement for the former Fulham ace at the end of the campaign.

Here is the best of the reaction…
