Speaking of which lets have a look at the bottom half. Blackburn & West Ham are looking out of it. Pardelli's new team are only 2 points behind West Brom & Cardiff with Hudderfield just ahead of that. Stoke & Man City should be far enough clear to be safe.

Ronaldo had another on the half hour then Luka Jovic scored a stoppage time goal to put the icing on the cake and set up a second final of the season against Chelsea.

Great day for Arsenal who beat Chelsea and took over 2nd place in the league. Liverpool thrashed Everton to close the gap so the top 3 are split by 3 points. In the Europa League hunt Tottenham should grab 5th while Southampton and Norwich are on 52 points while Everton are a point behind with 2 games in hand must be favorites just now.

Final Table
View attachment 294254
Chelsea won to claim 2nd but Arsenal lost anyway. Arsenal's loss was the only other deciding matter as Southamptons victory put them into the Europa League with Spurs next season. Cardiff & West Brom lost so West Brom go down.


Stat wise this was our best season for almost everything. goals 165, five better than last year, Goals against 15 eight better than we've ever managed together giving us a 151+GD. Ronaldo had his worst season in the league but played less games than ever with injurys, Messi getting involved and resting him. Still 36 goals in the league from 23 games. De Gea won his 4 consecutive golden glove. Also Man Citys failure to comply with financial fair play see them take a 5 point deduction to start with next season.

Chelsea
Could have won the treble if we werent as amazing as we are. Hazard was on amazing form all season long and was there top player and scorer with Marital having a very constructive 1st year. Lost to us in every domestic cup and Dortmund beat them in both legs in the Champions League


Liverpool
Leaning on there strike force again with super Mario leading the way whith Coutinho working some magic behind them. Like Chelsea we humbled Liverpool in two cup contests being them in the FA Cup & Champions League while Man City put them out in the League Cup


Arsenal
Scoring was Arsenal's problem. Danny Welbeck led the way with 21 and nobody else saw double figures! They had a shot at winning the Europa League but where demolished by Shakhtar. Newcastle beat them in the Fa Cup 5th round Chelsea knocked them out of the League Cup


Tottenham
A second slow start cost Pochettino his job in the end. 6th place with a late season stutter being the final nail in the coffin. Fabio Borini made up for being awful last season by scoring 7 times more goals this season, that was still only 21. Benfica beat them twice in the Champions League last 16, Walsall pulled of the upset of the save so far by beating them in a FA Cup 4th Round replay, Man City thrashed them in the League Cup


Man City
A Utter shambles! Took 4 months and 2 managers to get to 10 points in the league. After almost a month in the relegation zone David Moyes came in and dragged them up to 10th but a long way from respect! With no European action two thrashing from Man Utd in the cup made this there worst season since the money came in.




Other Leagues




Barcelona ran away to the top of La Liga as defending Champions Real Madrid finish 5th and go to teh Europa League. Valencia, Atl Madrid & Malaga won the 5 team battle for Champions League football.

The End

This past season was the final straw and strongest sign that its time to move on to a new save. Was only half interested in the last season and we waltzed through every competiton. The only thing we havent done is a unbeaten season or scored 200 goals so having built the greatest team ever i've decided to finish my reign as manager. Going to holiday the next few years just to see what happens to everyone. As a true United fan i felt it was only right to give something back for everything the club game me


My Last two signing for the new manager

I was tempted to do a Serie A but save. Had great fun with a Inter save a few years back but going for a much tougher challenge. What do you all think

Take on Plymouth and take them to the Premiership ala Swansea & Hull or AC Milan returning to the top of the Italian game? I was away to kick off with Plymouth as it would take in best case scenario it will be 6 years before were winning well in the Premiership where as with AC Milan could take 3-4 seasons and we could be winning everything again, not trying to be cocky im just worried about the save becoming stale quickly again.
