Huddersfield Town 1-1 Manchester United: Red Devils hopes of top four finish ended as they are held by already relegated Terriers

Manchester United will not be playing Champions League football next season as they were held 1-1 at Huddersfield Town.


Chelsea’s victory against Watford meant a point was not enough to keep their hopes of finishing in the top four going to the final day of the Premier League season.


Scott McTominay looked to set the Red Devils on the path to victory with an early goal but a battling performance from the already relegated side saw them earn a deserved point.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made three changes as Phil Jones, Scott McTominay and Alexis Sanchez came into the side in place of Eric Bailly, Ander Herrera and Romelu Lukaku.


The latter was absent from the squad along with Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard, with David De Gea starting in goal despite calls for him to be dropped.


Huddersfield boss Jan Siewert also made three alterations, with Aaron Mooy, Chris Lowe and Alex Pritchard coming in.

McTominay fired Manchester United into an eighth-minute lead against relegated Huddersfield.


The United midfielder unleashed a low shot from the edge of the penalty area that Jonas Lossl appeared to have covered, but the Town goalkeeper misjudged the bounce and it ended up in the bottom corner.


An error from the normally dependable Luke Shaw allowed Mbenza to score his first goal in English football and give Town fans an all-to-rare reason to cheer as a challenging campaign edges towards its conclusion.


Paul Pogba hit the woodwork for the second time as United chased a late winner, but Huddersfield were able to avoid a record-equalling 15th top-flight home defeat thanks to just their 10th home goal of the campaign.















Those statistics highlight why Town were relegated at end of March and the work required at Old Trafford – a summer rebuilding job made all the more difficult by the fact that Champions League football will not be returning.


The Europa League awaits for United as Huddersfield prepare for life in the Sky Bet Championship, although Mbenza’s strike ensured a positive end to the popular Dean Hoyle’s final home match as chairman.
