BBC Sport at Wembley Stadium[/size]The upshot of today's result is that Manchester United join Tottenham in the expanded group phase of the Europa League.
Chelsea must play a Conference League qualifier in August.
Newcastle miss out on European football completely.

Saturday seems to be the only fine day,  so United players on their open top bus won't get drenched

I'll tell you something, every Red I have spoken to since the final whistle is absolutely clock-a-hoop and over the moon about pulling a rabbit out of the hat and beating the Blues.


If we cast our minds back fifteen years and imagine that City had beaten United in the FA Cup Final one week after the Rags had landed yet another League Title, then it is easy for me to imagine how thrilled I and my fellow City followers would have felt. We would have spent the entire summer basking in the lovely warm glow of success. United's supporters are feeling like that right now, and this is a superb illustration of just how far the balance of power has shifted in Manchester and English football in general. The roles of the clubs have been almost entirely reversed


Who knows how long it will last or what the future holds? I'm just going to enjoy it and take each season as it comes.

It goes in cycles , i remember Utd fans [censored] a hoop beating Liverpool when the bin dippers  were the best team in England , I said to my mate who’s a bitter if Utd don’t do something stupid they’d win it , and thankfully apart  from onano trying his best to muck it up they hung on , ten Haag for once this season got his tactics spot on

After gifting the first goal,Utds long ball play worked well . Looked more energetic and sqeezed City forwards out of the play,sometimes with force,the Ref let go.
City even looked tired compared to Doku and there were plenty more fresh legs Pep could have put on. He admitted he got it wrong,taking the blame.
I think next season will be his last,going back to sunnier climes.

I think the players in general looked tired. This is especially the case with Mr Haaland. I am very pleased that Norway will not participate in this year's bloated and boring European Championship tournament. Frankly, I sincerely hope that all of our (City) players find an excuse to pull out of this latest farce.
