Manchester United best get used to Thursday nights. Champions League qualification is still mathematically possible but fourth is impossible with this squad and manager.
Especially as it seems the interim has followed several players and mentally checked out. The flawed experiment with Ralf Rangnick is not over and he is expected to accept the offer to coach the Austria national team. Little wonder United held their pre-match press conference against Brentford on Monday on Thursday night, with Rangnick possibly booked on a flight to Vienna on Friday morning.
The staff, the players and the supporters at United are gripped by apathy and a draw was an apposite result to reflect that. Cristiano Ronaldo briefly shook them out of it in what was their 10th draw of the league season.
