Manchester United Fails To Make It To The UEFA
Champions League

Manchester City fans mercilessly trolled Manchester United as Louis van Gaal’s side missed out on the top four in front of a sparsely-filled Old Trafford.

City knew it would take a miracle for their bitter rivals to pip them to the last Champions League place - with United needing to beat Bournemouth by 19 goals to secure fourth.

While that provided enough amunition for Blues supporters on social media - the sight of empty seats at Old Trafford was just an added bonus.

United ultimately won 3-1 to finish ahead of Southampton in fifth place - but it will be a season of Europa League football for the red half of Manchester next term. Article from Manchester Evening.

And even pundit Gary Lineker couldn’t resist getting involved in the banter, Tweeting: “Can’t really see Manchester United doing it now. 19 goals in an hour is a big ask.”
