Crafty old Jose. Poor, poor season for Manyoo, and they still end up with 2 trophies + CL qualification. That's outstanding.

Wouldn't swap our seasons whatsoever, there was absolutely nothing special or exciting about this and the fans will forget about it pretty quickly

People talking about this United team winning trophies but the commentator said they have spent over 400 million in the last 3 years, then think of the wages as well...

When we win things it will mean something.

(Wish they would stop mentioning the tragedy from the other day)

It pisses me off that they've won three cup finals on the spin despite not playing well in any of them.

Heck even their two CL wins under Fergie were jammy as fuck.

Second half went much like the first, with the early goal the killer. There is a lot to admire about Ajax and the way they stick to their principles and style of play, and there was only one team trying to play positive, proactive football. However they just didn't have the quality and firepower to really hurt Utd and weren't able to play with precision at tempo often enough.

As for United, I'm sure their fans wont care tonight after picking up the trophy, and that shouldn't be sniffed at getting the job done, but is this really what they have been reduced to..... Sitting back, offering fuck all to a game of football, and scraping through games? Sad if so.

Cost of starting XI’s: Ajax - £15m Manchester United - £257m. Yet Mourinho is happy to sit deep and let them dominate the play and just hit route one into Fellaini. Embarrassing.

Funny how Man Utd fans count the Charity Shield as a trophy.

If we're in it in August - which is likely - would they stop this nonsense about "you haven't won a trophy" if we win?

I doubt it.

Coverage of this game has been a disgrace. Too much sanctimonious linking with the attack. It's only a game of football vs 20+ kids blown apart by a maniac.

I think Poch can learn a little from this, at times it's good to just make sure we win.

eg: the semi against Chelsea
