LONDON: Manchester City jetted back to the Etihad to celebrate their stunning Premier League title triumph but across town at Manchester United the lights had long gone out.
United have finished outside the top four in four of the six seasons since Ferguson retired. This season the scarcely credible 32-point gap to their cross-town rivals left them as close to the relegation zone as the top of the table. "We're not a club which should end up sixth," Solskjaer told Sky Sports."That's where we are at the moment, but we're ready for it, the fans, supporters today too.
"None of us are satisfied with the general performance levels that we have offered, for one reason or another." However, they also face a battle just to keep hold of some of those who could make a positive contribution going forward with David de Gea, Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba all out of contract in the next two years and holding out on signing new deals.
The Chilean signed reportedly the most lucrative contract in Premier League history in January 2018 when joining from Arsenal, but United will struggle to get him off their books after another disappointing season, while the future of £75 million striker Romelu Lukaku also appears uncertain.
