Manchester United's hopes of playing Champions League football next season all but ended with a 1-1 draw against bottom-placed Huddersfield Town. Manchester United had a dream start to the game as Scott McTominay scored the opening goal for the Red Devils inside the first 8 minutes of the game.

They were dominant in the first 15 minutes of the game and looked confident in possession. Paul Pogba could have doubled Manchester United's lead, but his header came off the crossbar. Huddersfield Town did grow into the game and created some great chances to equalise in the first half. The Red Devils were sloppy in possession at the start of the second half and gave the ball away far too easily, which helped Huddersfield's cause.

The home team scored on the break as Jonas Lossl's brilliant dispatched ball was not cut out by Luke Shaw, and Mbenza nutmegged David de Gea to put his side level. The Red Devils came close to scoring on a couple of occasions, but the ball refused to hit the back of the net.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had a brilliant start to his life at Manchester United, winning 14 of his first 18 games in charge. But the wheels seem to have fallen for the Norwegian and has won just 1 of his last 11 games, losing 8 and drawing 2 in the process.

Going into the game, The Red Devils had to win their remaining games in the Premier League to give them any chance of securing a top 4 finish, meanwhile relying on the other results. The draw against Huddersfield means that the Red Devils will only be able to secure a 5th or a 6th place finish, meaning that they will play Europa League football next season. And Twitter wasted no time in trolling the Red Devils:
