The Red Devils have confirmed their status as runners-up, but they need to be massively improved next term for their coach to justify his negativity
So it’s official. Manchester United will end the season as England’s second best football team.
Yet the 0-0 draw at West Ham on Thursday which confirmed their runners-up spot in the Premier League was just the latest example as to why there are serious concerns over the direction in which Jose Mourinho is taking this United side.
