No blame on the manager. Jones is just a very poor footballer, which cost us today. Actually the entire back 4 from today is very poor. Hoping for a clearout of deadwood now

Unsurprisingly dreadful.

No point blaming Jones, we more than had enough time to turn it around and never looked likely.

Glad the season is finally over.
Why not Jones had another Spurs game. He has the footballing IQ of Dusty bin.

People still blaming Mourinho :lol:

It’s the same shit like Rashford and jones that have been underachieving for years now. Today was yet another reminder of that.

Lingard and Rashford are not ready to be anything other than squad players. Sanchez needs to find his form next season quickly. We clearly missed lukaku upfront and it might have been a different story had he been fit.

We dominated most of the match but just couldn’t find the finishing touch. Poor from our attack and full backs.

Players need to be brought into the team this summer. feck if it means English lads don’t get a game. We need a premiership title

Somewhere in your mind, touching a nerve
Individual players letting the team down. Phil Jones needs to be sold this summer. Sanchez is shit and Rashford is just so brainless. Martial is a better option than both of them yet doesn’t get his chances.

Not good enough anymore, can't watch these players anymore because they simple aren't good enough

Seriously major surgery needed and I don't know is Mourinho the right manager for it

How can anyone blame that on the manager? Did some of you not see the changes we missed? We went for it in the 2nd half and it was our fault we lost, our finishing and amount of chances created were poor.

Total crap. Especially the first 45.

And Jose got his edge of the seat 1-0 final...

Man United have no ruthlessness about them nowadays.

Martial lazily crossing the ball out for a goal kick near the end sticks in my mind.

Only saw the first half but thought Kante was brilliant at breaking up the player and Hazard is just a superb ball carrier across the pitch, runs down the clock superbly.
This is entirely true.

Another season where I’m pleased it’s over but don’t see any optimism for the future.

‘So this is how it feels when your team wins nothing at all.’ Becoming a familiar theme.

Just watch Liverpool win the CL now just to add to the turd sandwich that has been our season.

feck off Phil Jones. Brain dead as feck. Been here for years and is still a liability.

As for the game and the season, I'll let everyone else state the obvious. We're shit.

Both teams were horrible. I'll be furious if Jose again puts the blame on the players. It's his job to make them play fluent attacking football. If he can't do that, atleast man up and take the blame.

after all these years and money spent we're still relying on Jones, Young & Valencia.

not sure where this team is heading tbh, we looked lost

Individual players are pointless if the manager is failing to motivate them to play as a team.

I honestly hate this fecking team, how can they be this absolute garbage for 90 minutes? I honestly can only think of 2 (maybe 3) chances created over 90 minutes, absolute trash. Hope most of the team fecks off in the summer, this is nowhere near good enough
We’ve been garbage for the games that mattered this season.

Shit end to a shit season.

Shouldn't have bought Sanchez, other players haven't been good enough, all distilled into one game today.

Had the ball for most of it and created naff all. Serious changes needed.

City with 100 points. F.A Cup Final defeat. Liverpool going for a 6th European Cup.

Try scripting a worse end to the season.

If ever you needed an evidence of how clueless a team could be attacking against a semi-well organised team you got it.

I could live to be 150 but never come across a ‘professional’ football team that is so pathetic at set pieces than this Utd team. When a defence is set in the 18 yard box you need decent delivery into box but this team could play till August and never manage it once!

Played better second half , mistake from Jones cost us but Chelsea were not better than us. Bus parking.

Rashford and Lingard offered very little up front should have made the substitutions much earlier. Nothing to aim at.

Always reactive instead of proactive.
Why not take a chance but not when it's too late?

360 Minutes of football against Brighton, West Ham, Watford and Chelsea. One goal.

Young should be out the door. Valencia should only be a sub.

Should have made his subs earlier I think. Otherwise, we played like we mostly have this season.
