Caught the last 20 minutes of the game due to work.

 

Turgid, it was played at the pace of an end of season league game that didn't matter to either team. Doubt anyone other than Man Utd fans will remember anything about this game in a couple of years.

I've forgotten most of it already.

Not a brilliant side, but a tactically disciplined performance has won them the cup and got them into the Champions League. Compare and contrast with Liverpool last season who were an absolute mess in the final and lost comfortably.

They're not a million miles away as a team from being able to challenge in the PL either. Obviously defensive additions are needed, and perhaps most essentially a quality wide/ final third option instead of Mata who is too one-footed and just being shunted out wide to accomodate a superior number 10.

Doesn't take too much to turn home draws against bottom half dross into wins and shoot up the table, and this result will certainly help no end. Could be quite a turning point.

Man utd would've got smashed by sevilla tbh

United needed win so badly, they'll now be able to attract the kind of players they need next season. 

 

Theyll spend a shit load of money this summer.

Now?  They got Pogba and Ibrahimovic last season without being in the CL.

Didn't see it tonight was at the Bonnyrigg game but you are absolutely right it's about getting the job done. He'll get a fortune to spend and can surely only get better next season.

Maybe but EPL is just about the dollar.  The illusion that CL is a really big deciding factor is a fallacy in my opinion.

Is that the most embarrasing treble of all time? A Charity Shield, mickey mouse league cup and europes second tournament. I suppose the Man utd fans wont be giving a f**k though
