Manchester United’s disastrous season is almost at an end. Come 6pm today, players and fans alike can draw a line under the most wretched of campaigns – but there’s still plenty of work to be done before then.
Having already missed out on the Champions League, United are still in danger of not even making the Europa League next season, with West Ham ready to pounce should they slip up at Crystal Palace. In a season which has fallen woefully short of expectations, the Reds have to ensure they at least salvage something from the wreckage.
Then there is of course personal pride for the players. Some would argue that dissipated a long time ago, but there is at least more incentive for them this weekend.
