Fans beamed with hope when Ola Solskjaer took over from Jose Mourinho in December but all his runs of matches that saw him defeat PSG in Champions league and compile pressure on finishing top four will be judged by where he finished on the log. This draw now means that United final match of the season will be a mere formality. United will have to settle with their sponsors who has threatened to cut their sponsorship deal with the club for not making it to the Champions League next season.

Edward woodward was shown throughout the duration of the game as he was shocked with the result and as well his many decision about the club transfer policies this season. Why the burden will lay on his shoulder to redeem United to is rightful place but its going to be a very long time to do that.
