Man City 0-2 Man Utd: It's not a lack of ability that has cost Manchester United the title - Shearer analysis

Manchester United have been a strange team this season and it is their inconsistency that has cost them their chance of winning the title - not a lack of ability.

But while they produced a brilliant team performance to end City's 21-game winning run, United have been poor against lesser teams like Sheffield United, West Brom and Crystal Palace recently.

United are now unbeaten in their past 22 away league games, which is a great achievement. They are obviously very difficult to beat, but their problem is that they have not always offered enough going forward to win those matches.
