Manchester United enjoyed their joint-best league placing since Sir Alex Ferguson retired as manager in 2013, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team ending second in the Premier League and also having a chance to win the Europa League against Villarreal.
Despite progress being made on the pitch at Old Trafford, United still finished 12 points behind champions Manchester City. A group-stage exit from the Champions League and failure to make it to a domestic cup final underline the ongoing issues that Solskjaer needs to address.
