The ex-Chelsea man saw his spot-kick saved by United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir as the Gunners crashed out of the competition.
Havertz also spurned a glorious chance to nab a late winner for Arsenal during extra time, blasting a shot over the bar despite being in front of the net.
While he became embroiled in a battle with Manuel Ugarte and Harry Maguire too as tempers threatened to spill over earlier in the game.
But after full-time, Havertz’s wife Sophia screenshotted several DMs she had received on social media.
Each one was filled with sick abuse aimed at the German influencer, 25, who announced her pregnancy in November.
Sophia’s caption on the first screenshot read: “For anyone to think it’s okay to write something like this is so shocking to me.
“I hope you are so ashamed of yourself.”
A second caption from Sophia on another message added: “I’m not sure what to even say but please guys be more respectful.
“We are better than this…”
Sophia and Havertz started dating in 2018 while the forward was still at Bayer Leverkusen.
