Woeful season over with another defeat and no goal scored. Finished with a embarrassing 58 points 6 points off the previous worst PL points total for United.  Still qualified for the Europa league i think that highlights how poor this league is outside the top two.

New manager was in attendance at least he has no hair to pull out.

The top two are out of this world, the next three Chelsea (74), Spurs (71) and Arsenal (69) are decent strong sides.

Man Utd won the League with 75 points in the 96/97 Season.

There was a league of decent strong sides in 96/97 that's why the league points was much lower.  Arsenal and Tottenham are not near the levels of where they use to be even this awful and totally disjointed United side managed to beat Tottenham home and away this season.

True, that is not a reflection on Utd as Champions. The argument is that there is no one of quality outside the top two. But the points total of the next three show they are decent sides. After that there is a plethora of average sides. I do think Chelsea took things easy either side of the FA Cup final and dropped points they should have garnered. They had so much breathing space they could afford to.

6th place is a 4 place drop on last season, and probably flatters Utd in the end up.

No.  5th and 6th (Arsenal, Man United) into the Europa league. West ham finished 7th and go into the conference league.

Utd are clearing the decks it seems;

Paul Pogba, Edinson Cavani, Juan Mata, Nemanja Matic  Jesse Lingard are all gone, Anthony Martial , Eric Bailly. Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Dean Henderson and Phil Jones probably should be leaving also.

Who's replacing them?

It just shows how big a job Ten Hag has on his hands.
Id imagine he will bring in a few players he has worked with before who are good characters to start with. The dressing room seemed to be toxic for the last wile.

0 Goal difference as well. Pathetic.
Only the 6th team ever to achieve this feat in the history of the Premier League!!
Fair play to them. :D

I'd say Bailly, Martial and Wan Bissaka will stay. Not because they're any good but because realistically 10 or 11 players won't be coming in this summer. Henderson is apparently one of the leaks in the dressing room along with Lingard, if so then good riddance to both.

He probably wont be able to get shot of them all in the one window, but if offers come in I dont see Ten hag wanting to keep any of them.

Very very few players in the squad deserving another chance. Genuinely wouldn't be bothered by any of them leaving as the only ones who were anywhere near meeting the standards needed were Ronaldo and De Gea. Problem is who will want our cast offs on crazy money.

The fact those 2 players stood out with their own limitations, Ronaldo's age and De Gea just not being the modern keeper you need now, tells you where that squad is. You could make a genuine argument to get rid of every player in the squad, including those 2 and Bruno.
