I don't think we'll get top four now.

We've been poor since the Sevilla hammering and Liverpool aren't dropping any points to Villa, Southampton or Leicester.

I can’t believe the arrogance on here claiming it was already sewn up. This team has a makeshift defence, a paper hands goalkeeper and an attack that can’t create.
For me more annoying was the fact people thinking how Liverpool (who were out of all competions and with full squad) can't win 9 in a row with easy schedule.

Looking on the positve side, if we don't get top 4 then the Glazers mgiht have to take a few quid less for us.
Exactly what I've just said. It's all a cunning plan to panic the Glazers into selling now before we miss out on top 4 and the value drops like a stone.
We saw Erik with the green and gold scarf after Villa!

Deepthroating information to Howard Nurse.

Truly bizarre considering they basically did exactly that 2 years ago. When I placed the bet of them finishing top 4 a month ago I thought it was Newcastle they were catching - but our performances bar a few 30 minute spells are fecking dreadful and have been for some time.

Bizarre because it is the same team which won 2 trophies, had 92 points in PL and played CL final less than 12 months.
I still think that we will make it but we will leave it for last game

This team seems so knackered.. I wonder how much Varane and Martinez have actually meant to this team. Since their injuries, we've been all over the place..

I think we are going to bottle it, doesn't help that we seem incapable of scoring a goal but our performances have been dreadful since the cup final against Newcastle.

So we'll struggle to get 9 points from West Ham, Wolves, Bournemouth, Chelsea and Fulham but have to resort to prayer for the mighty Liverpool to drop points against Leicester, Villa and Southampton?

Manchester United fans ladies and gentlemen.

As I said, we'll do it easy. And that doesn't change even if we drop points tomorrow.
How’s it coming along? Top 4 in the bag, am I right?

Newcastle’s fixtures are tougher than ours. Win tonight and we’re still in the best place to finish third. I’d be getting nervous if I was a Newcastle fan. The players don’t have any experience of closing out these sort of games. Lose the Brighton game and they’re in massive trouble for fourth.
There's no nerves from me. My expectation at the start of the season was top 10, even 5th is a great season for us, so the pressure is almost completely off.

First time I’ve ever turned a game over before it’s finished, if I didnt I would smash my TV up, what an absolute bunch of cowards., this club need a purge starting with those fecking vile leeches the Glazers, followed by 75% of these frauds playing for us.

I guess United missing out on TOP4 is a quite realistic scenario right now

BACK in the EU-, BACK in the EU-, BACK in the Eu-Ro-Pa League!

One must laugh, when the other options are to cry or be a hopeless optimist, and I can't summon the energy for the latter alternatives

Last time I checked they aren't challenging for anything significant either. They also appear to have a scouting system.
No but atleast they play good football and bring in good signings. We are gash and being in the champions league if we make it will highlight just how gash we are.. in fact you will see how gash we are at Wembley in a few weeks time.

If we don't get CL we'll get left further behind the likes of City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle in the summer. Next season will be no better with the Thursday/Sunday grind.

It's like watching a train crash in slow motion. You know exactly what's going to happen and there's nothing you can do. Bunch of fecking bottlers.

We look done this season. Let's hope Bournemouth, Fulham and Wolves are all on the beach when we play them.

Heads have gone. Zero fecking fight. Not sure who it is but there must be a few players bringing the team down mentality wise. I’m sulking but this is terrible. Probably get tanked in the FA cup final too.
