And the United superstar appeared to lash out as he headed back to the away team dressing room.
Merseyside Police are investigating.
In a statement, they said: “We can confirm that they’re carrying out an investigating following an incident at the #EVEMAN match at Goodison involving a player as they were walking off the pitch and will be speaking to all parties involved.”
The striker struggled throughout the lifeless defeat as his United team-mates failed to provide any service.
He did eventually have a chance to level things up late on but was denied from close-range by Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
The full-time result was blasted by players and pundits alike, with Red Devils stopper David De Gea labelling the performance as "disgraceful".
Elsewhere club legend turned pundit Gary Neville slammed Ralf Rangnick's side as "a joke".
United have now lost three of their last five games, with Rangnick picking up just eight league victories from 17 games.

“Can't believe I'm saying this but Ronaldo smashed Jake's phone out of his hand while he was recording him coming off at full time," she said in a post online.
“I'm shocked that a professional footballer can assault a child like this. If anyone can get any videos of this for me I believe they're on Instagram already."
