Football fans have aired their frustration after Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi was omitted from Match of the Day’s Premier League Team of the Season.
Match of the Day is a popular television programme on BBC which broadcast football matches with in-depth analysis.
The Super Eagles star has been rock solid for the Foxes this campaign and his displays helped his side to their current third place in the English top-flight.
Ndidi has featured in 23 league games this season, 18 more than Manchester United’s January arrival Bruno Fernandes, who made the star-studded list which also included Liverpool duo, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.
The 23-year-old midfielder is currently the third top-tackler in the division with 91 tackles which is only bettered by teammate Ricardo Pereira and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and his calmness with the ball has been top-notch this term.
Football enthusiasts have expressed their displeasure following the snubbing of the Nigeria international, who also narrowly missed out on the 2019 African Team of the Year.
BBC what are you people smoking?

Bruno Fernandes that came last week 😂🤣😂. Ndidi, Madison, Grealish, were all playing cricket this season I'm guessing, if any Manchester United Midfielder should even be considered it's should be Fred. https://t.co/BkQkbnr9km
So Ndidi locked the entire Leicester midfield Down only to be ignored so badly that Bruno Fernández get to be in the team of the season ahead off him? 😳

Grealish, Kovacic, Madison, and Ndidi all overlooked for someone who joined in January and played only five games...... absolute shithousery https://t.co/RftOD7cReX

Why should he make the cut,he has barely played 2 months in the league... Where's maddinson, Ndidi and other very good midfielders who have done very well this season from August to March

It's bias from the angle of the whoever put up the list https://t.co/uUMJasE9FN
How can Fernandes that play less than 10 games be included in the team of the season 🤔. There are better players that deserve to be in the team like Ndidi pic.twitter.com/r4oLMSzMgV

Mine would have Ndidi and Aubameyang in place of Bruno and Aguero. https://t.co/gK4S4iHqSp
This is bullshit... Bruno played just 5 matches

Why not choose players that played the whole season... This isnt fair.. Where is ndidi, grealish, Matteo.. Even dean henderson deserves a spot https://t.co/44dwvOUgyJ
Fernandes 5 games gets in instead of Ndidi,Rodri,Maddison,Neves,Kovacic,Fabinho that have been playing well all season. No Sheff.United players although they're having the season of their lives and Aguero instead of Vardy.Bullshit
