I love how this team think they can just coast until the end of the season and then turn on a performance in a European final.

These bottlers are not beating Villarreal.

Don’t blame a couple of defensive errors for this result.

We had all that possession and did nothing with it.

No urgency and no real threat up front as a result of stodgy build up play and non-existent movement.

Static players passing to static players, going nowhere and hoping for a lucky breakthrough or a bit of magic from Cavani or Greenwood.

The Fulham goal shouldn’t have mattered, because we should have been 3 or 4-0 up by then.

Once McT went off, we looked like a rabble and fell apart.

I am in shock that ole didn't want to win this. Greenwood and cavani won't be knackered by playing 5 mins more. Shocking, questions must be asked. I'm stunned.

Ole protecting his players fitness, nothing wrong with that.

This was essentially an exhibition.

Falling over the line like we do at the end of every season :(

End of season type of performance. I wish the team picked out Cavani's runs more.

Defence is a problem without Maguire.

Seriously unravelling now. If we think we can just breeze past Villareal we're badly mistaken.

I'm worried because we're not in the tempo of normal games. Too much dwelling on the ball, this game was craving for quick passing rather than running with the ball.

Deeply concerned about the total loss of momentum in the team. I don’t care if they are dead rubber games. The momentum looks completely lost and the sign of an elite team is they don’t half arse performances even at the end of a season as momentum gets lost.

Pogba is not a left winger. Christ i will lose it if he starts on the left wing in the europa.

Felt very much like a game where we had nothing to play for. Form is concerning going into the final though. Send the under 12s to wolves on Sunday

Not the first time Lindelof and Wan Bissaka have been done on an aerial ball. Won't be the last. Plenty to encourage Villarreal again after last week's loss to Liverpool.

Out fought by a relegated team in first game back in front of fans. The difference between this team mentally and man City is absolutely terrifying. 5 points out of the last 15 on offer but we gave up, arsenal style, once top 4 was achieved. We are miles off.

Deepthroating information to Howard Nurse.
Pretty terrible in truth. Fulham gifted us the ball time and again in fantastic areas and we just gifted it back. This team still has a massive arrogance about it where we seem to think we can just stroll through games.

15 points to City is a bit gutting but can't read much into this game. They are on holidays, we are just waiting for the EL final, at least the fans saw a nice goal

Crowd does us no favours. We're a team that prefers peace and quiet when it comes to playing the football, thank you very much.

Red Card for Casemiro!
What a poor, pathetic display from the players. No desire to get more goals, no desire to come back after their equalizer. Lazy, lazy defending over and over again. This United side, manager included, didn't look like they're gearing up for a final today - it seems like they're off on a holiday.

We've had a great season, and it's crumbling away at the end. I don't think we are ready at all for Villareal.

Did the ref just blow dead on 4 minutes added time after they wasted time both on our FK and booked their keeper for time wasting?

Good game overall, whilst not the form we want to see it's a nothing game and it was quite entertaining in parts.

They'll have to turn it on against Villareal though.

Imagine booking the keeper for time wasting and then blowing up earlier than the minimum time added

Wonder what excuse Ole will come up with for this debacle. A WC goal and the rest just dross.
