LACK OF QUALITY

Manchester United enjoyed just 32 per cent possession against a team like Ajax, who have an average age of 22. While Mourinho would defend it by saying that it was necessary to qualify for the Champions League, United fans would expect more dazzling displays and champagne moments next season.

Crippled by injuries, United played some uninspiring football throughout the season. While on most occasions they parked the bus to churn out results, going forward they will have to be more assertive.
