Wilfried Zaha strike for Crystal Palace sinks woeful Manchester United

Manchester United’s worst season in 30 years of the Premier League ended with a typical whimper. As their two deepest rivals competed for the title, the best United could hope for was avoiding next season’s Europa Conference League.

Objective achieved, an undesirable new frontier avoided though little thanks to United. West Ham’s loss to Brighton meant they crept into the Europa League despite Wilfried Zaha’s first-half goal delivering a sixth successive away defeat. After a season concluded with a goal difference of zero and some excruciatingly poor performances, Selhurst Park a case in point, playing any form of European football next season feels a like wholly undeserved bonus. The Glazer family owe Brighton and Graham Potter a debt of gratitude their own billion-pound team are not worthy of.
