With six games remaining in the most-recent Premier League season, Manchester United had a strong hand in the three-horse race for a finish in the top four.
Cristiano Ronaldo had just scored a hat-trick against Norwich to leave the Red Devils three points behind Tottenham - who occupied the final Champions League place - and narrowly ahead of Arsenal on goal difference. The victory over the Canaries was a vital one given United had just dropped points against Leicester and Everton.
However, things quickly unravelled again and a run of one win, one draw and four defeats in their final fixtures of the season ensured United finished a whopping 13 points adrift of the top four. Ralf Rangnick's side crumbled under the pressure and, in truth, never recovered from their 4-0 hammering at Liverpool in mid-April as they limped over the line with a final-day defeat at Crystal Palace one month later.
