Wong's post received over 32,000 likes in just over eight hours but a few fans on social media opted to mock the actor. One wrote: "Someone needs to tell him to use the time stone and change the Everton result and Sheffield United result. Cheers. Actually, while you’re at it, make Aguero miss that chance in 2012." while another added, "I think Wong is the man who gave Ole his juju for our recent resurgence." A third stated, "Imagine if Wong does his hand gestures and uses his powers on the United players when they lose. Will be the boost they need, actually."
