Absolutely pathetic performance. Can't think of anyone who played well bar Martial and Greenwood, AWB was ok at first after coming on. Williams got embarassed by Bowen. We are shattered as well. I was full of optimism even after Chelsea but convinced Leicester on a full weeks rest will beat us now, even with half of their team out.

If we don't get top 4, not resting vital players for the FA Cup game vs Chelsea will be the reason. The players are dead on their feet. Shocking managing from Ole.

Bunch of bottlejobs. We just seem to want to do things the hard way.

Rashford was extremely poor, Bruno was like Bambi on ice and Pogba is a coward.

fecking embarassing performance but the legs are gone. For the second season in a row, our players are out of gas, done. Finito.

OGS needs to rectify this or it will end up costing him his job. We need to go and get players this summer. At least 3. One in attack (right wing), one in midfield and a centreback.

We were second best for most of the second half against a much fitter west ham side. Who to be honest were absolute dogshit. A better team would have beat us.

I don't know if we can manage the point at leicester honestly. They'll be up for it. They have had plenty of rest. More than us by almost 5 days. It scares the shite out of me. We just need to hang on.

What a deflating end to the campaign. Really mis managed our depth and fitness yet again.

We do not deserve the Champions League, and if we do end up in 3rd or 4th come Sunday afternoon, by god are we lucky to be there.

Holy shit was that bad. Last Home game of the season and they give that performance.

Once again, stumbling over the line and hoping for next season to come from. A far cry from finishing strong under SAF.

Awful stuff, im sorry but what is wrong with Matic?? He always has to take a million touches before he passes the ball, ontop of that stupid foul after stupid foul.

The team is completely gassed. I don't understand why Ole doesn't even give a chance to either McTominay or Fred in a game to rest Matic and Bruno. Same with Ighalo and overplaying Rashford.

That was fecking pathetic. Pogba is without a fecking doubt, the most overrated player in the world. Guy is a mediocre midfielder. He thinks he could do better than what United has been? feck, the way he's played for us, we should be looking to replace him, plain and simple. He's average who can do the random piece of good dribbling and that's it.
I mean he wasnt the worst on the pitch. Look at Bruno barely made a completed pass all match.

Fine result. Avoid defeat against Leicester and we are there.

For our top 4 chances, a win would've been huge compared to a draw. Seemed like nobody actually realised.

Not ideal, but the results we do. Our team looks dead which makes me worried about a Leicester team coming off a weeks break, with everyone but Rashford playing a full 90.

Silly from Pogba, sluggish from the rest. One moment of pure quality from Martial and Greenwood.

Just a little reminder that we're nowhere near ready to compete just yet.

In fairness though, a late winner wouldn't have changed the situation on Sunday - avoid defeat and qualify.

We're third right now.

If we draw our next game we get CL football.

WWe're crawling over the line, but we need to get over that line and spend in the summer. It's a squad game - not a team game.

Properly outplayed tonight. Worrying.

Lacklustre and feeble.

Rashford should have been taken off after 50 minutes, as it was obvious he was struggling to motivate himself and was making mistake after mistake, as well as putting almost no effort in.

I’ve said it before, he’s very over rated and although I think there’s no chance Utd would want to sell him, if it was me, I’d cash in before his standing diminishes, as it will.

Embarrassing the lack of urgency in the team if you can’t get up for that why are they even playing.

Except for the first 10 minutes each half, that was terrible.

Some very dubious game/squad management by Ole. Bruno has been extremely wasteful for weeks and again today he gave the ball away constantly. He's clearly fatigued. To not make a midfield substitution when you've got two strong options on the bench was baffling.

We were lucky to get a useful result but it's obvious we're running on tired legs and that's a worry going into the Leicester match.

Doesn't change much. Still need to draw with Leicester even if we won today to secure CL

We were shocking. Totally inept. Rashford was really poor again. Need to put Fred instead of Matic & Mata instead of Rashford for Leicester game and get some combination play to our build up otherwise I can see Leicester beating us easily.

I can't get my head around this team . From brilliant to shit from brilliant to shit over and over.
Our level of performance has massively dipped the past 3/4 games. We have zero squad our manager seems to only trust 11/12 players and the rest are kept benched .

I've no confidence at all going to Leicester last game . Tonight was a chance to thump a average West Ham team and make Sunday a walk in the park

The squad simply isn’t good enough.

Dying on their feet & can’t change it in midfield. Fullback plays poorly & we bring on another fullback with no ability in attack.

People saying we’re a Sancho away are deluded.

Some chair, probably
Probably the most tired team I’ve ever seen. The one point might turn out to be just enough, but it’s gonna be awful squeaky-bum time against Leicester.

We're completely gassed. Couldn't muster anything in the last 20 minutes but a point still keeps us in a strong position.

But Leicester will have had a week off, know that it's win or bust and will throw absolutely everything at us. We need to dig deep on Sunday but can still do it :devil:

Horrible peformance. Worrying that this was Ole could get out of us in a big game at home against freaking West Ham. Hopefully we get a draw against Leicester but recent peformances don't full you with confidence.

A draw or a win doesn't really make much of a difference to us. Either way we need to avoid defeat to Leicester and we're good.
