Man United 0 - 2 Cardiff City : Bitter End to 18/19 Season

So this is how it ends. Not with a bang, but a whimper. Fans may have been expecting a response to a depressing run of results including the Huddersfield game, but we managed to lose the last game of the season to already relegated Cardiff City.

17 year old Mason Greenwood featured got a start, as did Pereira, Diogo Dalot and Lingard. Nathaniel Mendez-Laing scored a brace for Neil Warnock's team with a goal in each half. It was a disappointing end to the season, as we finish on 66 points, in 6th place, and there is definitely some bad feeling around the club. The fans want some serious investment, but it's how much backing the manager is going to get.

Some cheeky wags are already saying it's Ole has finally managed to get Cardiff to win, 5 years late. Others are bantering with Liverpool for not winning the league, but this is all a distraction. Man United are a million miles from where they are supposed to be, and it's 100% down to Ed Woodward and the Glazers. Terrible management in the boardroom has finally come home to roost.

It's certainly going to be a big summer at the club. Some are even saying OGS needs to go now. Over at The United Stand fan channel they were venting about the fact they don't feel he's good enough. 



Fans wants 10 players in and 10 out. But who wants to play for United now? The Glazers famously mismanaged the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and bled them dry, and it looks like they just don't care, as long as the commercial revenues keep rolling in for United.

It was Herrera's last game for the club, as he is set to join PSG for better money, better prospects and a better club. I can't blame him. The fans cheered him on during the game. It's also Tony Valencia's last game for the club, and he also got a lot of love from the fans after 10 years at United. The Ecuadorian will be a free agent this summer as his contract expires.
