Manchester United got the season they deserved after their ridiculous decisions
The banner in the Manchester United end read, 'We've seen it all'. They have won nothing at all. They have got the season they deserved.
This is factually and undeniably the worst Manchester United team in 51 years. A team so bad they have lost four times to Tottenham in a single season. The United end emptied quickly at full-time.
Players stood, dumbfounded. Amad sank to the turf and was motionless. All the bravado about United's trophy-winning pedigree counted for nought.
In a season where relegation was never a tangible threat, it does not get more humiliating for United to be the wreckage above those three sunken ships in the table and losing to Tottenham in a final. The worst Tottenham team in living memory.
United's followers belted out their Ruben Amorim chant louder than ever in the first half. Bonnie Tyler was played in Bilbao bars and at the stadium. If she was performing live she might have been outsung by the 14,700 red phalanx.
Come the second half, it did not get a single airing. Glory was within touching distance, with the Europa League trophy pitchside at kick-off. If the glory days are to return under the incumbent United manager, it will not be until 2026. United players stayed to watch Spurs lift silver.
There will be no European football at Old Trafford next season. For the first time since they re-entered the European Cup in 1993, it will be two years without Champions League football.
The team that invested £108.5million on two strikers in successive summers sent Harry Maguire up front again. This time, lumping it up for the big man did not come off.
This is what United get for not having the nerve to sack one manager, yielding to fickle fans, backing him in another Dutch-centric transfer window,
