England manager Gareth Southgate fumed with supporters who booed Manchester United skipper Harry Maguire.
The centre-half did not receive the best reception at Wembley as the Three Lions took on Ivory Coast in a mid-week friendly.
England won the game 3-0, but Southgate was extremely displeased with one of his players receiving boos from the crowd ahead of the game.
"I thought the reception was a joke. An absolute joke," Southgate told Sky Sports.
"What he's done for us and the way he has performed for England has been phenomenal. I don't get it.
"We're either all in this together or we're not. He's in an England shirt and not only should you support someone in an England shirt regardless but when he's played at the level he has, it should be total commitment behind him. So, I don't get it.
"He was pretty faultless, stepping out from the back for the first goal and was involved in the second goal. This team is totally united. We recognise people have difficult moments but he's top player and will come through it.
"They are real England fans. And some are influenced by whatever, I don't know if it's social media, players that have played previously that are influencing opinion... Obviously his club situation is difficult but he's in an England shirt.
"I remember a few decades ago when some players were booed in an England shirt - it's never been acceptable. I've never got it. Why would people play any better? Fans should always get behind their team."
