Pablo Zabaleta has upset some West Ham United fans.

Some West Ham United fans on Twitter are criticising Pablo Zabaleta over his post-match tweet last night.

Zabaleta returned to Manchester City as West Ham lost 1-0 to Pep Guardiola’s side.

The Argentine right-back won five major trophies during his time at the Etihad, including two Premier League titles.

Naturally, he was given a warm reception by the home fans and the 34-year-old thanked them in a Twitter post.

But some of the Hammers faithful are questioning why there was no mention for the travelling supporters who made the midweek trip to Manchester.

It would be far worse if the veteran defender wasn’t a big player for West Ham, but he is.

Zabaleta routinely gives 110 percent for Manuel Pellegrini’s side. His attitude is exemplary and therefore it’s clear that there was no malice intended in omitting Irons fans from the post-match tweet.
