When you never play your stand-in keeper in your league, and only give him opportunities in Europe and Cup games, it is injustice to take him off duty just because it is crunch time.

Ole’s plan to back a decaying keeper has clearly backfired. He had nothing much to do apart from one save and two clear goal concessions.

His lack of ideas and desire to make any change to Plan A hit him right where it hurts, as three semifinal failures mar his first season at the helm. Knowing how well Sevilla defends, I feared the inevitable tonight.

Lindelof is the weakest link in defence and him along with his now out of form keeper buddy has comfortingly ensured United exit from all competitions. Moments of passion on the field triggered by few instances, apart from which, decisive play was efficiently throttled by the Kings of Europa League. Another disappointing night!
