MANCHESTER UNITED look set to miss out on a top-four finish in the Premier League at the end of the season.

Player ratings: No one had a good day for Manchester United as the Premier League giants officially miss out on the Champions League.

They were bullied, predictable with their decision making, anxious at every turn and just didn't have any kind of direction aside from playing it back to one of their only capable first-teamers. They were defending much more resiliently to avoid further decline and on the odd chance they made something happen in the final third, it was always through some nice, quick passing in and around the box. MF Fred, 3 -- In one of the worst cameos of the season thus far, Fred couldn't keep the ball at his feet and was woeful with his positional play. The Red Devils looked slow from the word go and were made to pay for their poor play as Moises Caicedo put Brighton 1-0 up within 15 minutes.

The auction is a continuation of the long-standing United for UNICEF partnership between the club and the global children's charity.

Ralf Rangnick and his rabble arrived at Brighton with the chance to all but bolt the door on West Ham behind them and secure a top six finish.

He was also interesting for the club in terms of selling shirts, and I wanted to have quick wingers. Hazard went on to win the Premier League twice, as well as the Europa League and the FA Cup while Kagawa lasted just two seasons at Old Trafford. "For the defence, I wanted Sergio Ramos and Mats Hummels, because ours wasn’t the strongest in building from the back. One of the more infamous failed signings in United's recent history, Henderson did not end up at Old Trafford due to a particularly bizarre reason. "Alex was watching Franck Ribery, the Marseille winger, but decided by half-time he was not good enough for United." Prior to his move to Stamford Bridge, Hazard helped inspire Lille to the Ligue 1 title and therefore attracted interest from plenty of clubs - including United. The story goes that United icon Sir Alex Ferguson decided that one of the finest wingers of his generation was not good enough after watching him for just 45 minutes.
