A limited side who were lucky to be there. They played well for an hour but didn't have the quality to take advantage of a below par Real Madrid side. It might have been interesting if a better side had been there to see whether Madrid would have respected them more and played better or whether...

They actually undersold the Tory majority, it predicted 163 more seats than Labour rather than a 163 seat majority (they actually ended up with 179 more seats than Labour). I wouldn't expect the results will be that drastic but nothing has changed since the campagins started and we're still...

It's really not a good look but there are very few people in football with morals and it's become clear over his time here that he's kind of a dweeby guy who doesn't have much personality and seems solely focused on football. It's the same with the way he apparently wanted Greenwood back and...

Full credit to him for showing some loyalty and also for being patient in progressing in his career. Hopefully he can keep them up next year even if the odds are stacked against them or at least ensure they're well prepared for what's to come.

He's just continually stepped up and looked comfortable as the quality of opponents and the pressure on the games has risen over his short time in the first team, it's fantastic that he got to have a key role in a cup final at such a young age (he was brilliant in this game) and so exciting that...

It definitely feels like it right now, I don't recall being as happy when we won trophies under Mourinho while the 2016 cup final was tarnished by the fact that it leaked about 5 minutes after the game that Van Gaal was gone which felt like a bit of a grubby way to go about it. Some of the early...

It was strange for such a big story to come out the day before the cup final and no other major outlet to fully back it up, there was a lot of talk that he might go or that he's on the brink but nobody followed up the Guardian's article with the same level of certainty. He's still probably in...

Can't believe we won it and that it was done relatively comfortably (in hindsight, It was incredibly stressful throughout), it's been a rough season but full credit to the players and the manager for the way they performed today. It's so nice to end on such a high.

How is he lined up if he's also talking to Brighton and Chelsea and we apparently also have a 4 person shortlist including someone who only became available 2 days ago? This is all just reporting at the moment, nothing is formalised.

To see what options are out there in case they make that decision? Why would he be speaking to Brighton and Chelsea if he was going to get the United job?

If he does come in and that's a very big if, he has other suitors, we have a manager still and are being linked with a different option everyday, then he has to get players to buy in. He doesn't have the credibility of being a great player and he doesn't seem to be have the most charismatic...

It's one report on Sky and then a load of gossip of different names that would always happen when the biggest club in the country comes 8th. Even if any of it is true it would be impossible to stop some gossip coming out once there are multiple parties involved, this doesn't seem like the type...

He himself said he felt he was being encouraged to be a bit clownish and it grated but as he's got older and just been himself more he's become a pretty thoughtful pundit who is very likable as you say.

It's flattering that they think this is deliberate rather than a reflection of the quality of this manager and a good chunk of the players (plus I'm sure celebrating all week has just exacerbated things).

I wouldn't, he's failed to show even a basic understanding of how to set up a football team this season but at least your view is coherent so fair enough. There are posters saying give him the first couple of months of next season and assess it then with the new structure, things aren't going to...
