Manchester United’s season ended on the worst possible note on Sunday afternoon. A 2-0 defeat at the hands of relegated Cardiff City, at Old Trafford, was a pitiful end to what has been a dreadful and worrying run of form from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men. The Red Devils finish the season sixth in the Premier League table, 32 points behind champions Manchester City, on a run of six games without a victory. They’ve only managed to win two of their last 12 matches and a squad overhaul is essential this summer. We already know that Antonio Valencia and Ander Herrera are leaving the club this summer and several others are certain to follow. "The last couple of months have been extremely hard for the team, the club and for the players,” Solskjaer was quoted as saying by BBC Sport after the match. "More or less the only positive from today is that the season is over. We meet again on 1 July and we will work back to where we belong. "To reach the leaders it will take a long time. For ourselves, the short-term focus in the league will be getting into the top four. "We have got the Europa League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup to go for a trophy because Manchester United can't go many years without winning a trophy. Jose [Mourinho] won the Europa League last and that is a realistic ambition. "In the league, the points we are behind the top two, they have been excellent, those two. Absolutely exceptional. And we are five or six points behind Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea. They are the ones we have to make sure we catch up and don't let anyone closer to us.” Despite United’s disastrous end to the 2018/19 campaign, the players and coaching staff still did a lap of honour after full-time. Many fans, to their credit, stayed and applauded the team. However, there was an unsavoury incident involving a few angry supporters and Paul Pogba once the lap of honour had ended. A video was posted online which shows one fan shouting at Solskjaer to get rid of Pogba. Others can be heard calling him a disgrace and telling him to “f*** off” in the footage, which has been shared across social media. Needless to say, this wasn’t appreciated by Pogba, who pointed back at the irate fans and put his finger to his lips before walking off down the tunnel. Watch it here... Another video has also emerged showing a fan shouting at Pogba: "All this f****** Instagram. You're s****, mate. Pack your bags and f*** off!" Pogba did well to keep his cool... There are many United fans who wouldn’t be bothered if that’s Pogba’s final appearance in a red shirt following his below-par performances over the past couple of months. The Frenchman has also flirted with Real Madrid over a potential summer move, further angering the Old Trafford faithful.

And Nathaniel Mendez-Liang ensured the Bluebirds went down singing as they showed they had the quality in their ranks to remain in the Premier League - it was just too little, too late. More so, it was probably a testament of how much Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have fallen from grace now that his honeymoon period is well and truly over.

The France international stands and watches the angry supporter, and does not look too impressed, though he does well to keep a cool head. Pogba eventually walks away trying to make peaceful gestures towards the United fan, though it’s hard to tell if they’re sincere or come across as a little sarcastic. It’s going to be a long summer with this guy sure to dominate the transfer gossip headlines once again… UPDATE: We have updated and corrected this article after the fan in question got in touch to explain more clearly what had happened at the end of Sunday’s game at Old Trafford.

Former Manchester United great Lou Macari has hit out at Paul Pogba for his part in an altercation with a fan at Old Trafford. Pogba was chastised by a Red Devils supporter following Manchester United's defeat by Cardiff City on the final day of the season. The fan was heard criticising the World Cup winner's use of Instagram and repeatedly told the France international: "You're f***ing s***." Pogba shrugged his shoulders back at the fan and gave him the thumbs up, but Macari has hit out at the £89million man for getting involved and for removing his Manchester United shirt. "Oh come on, come on! I haven't come here today to [see this]," said Macari on MUTV. "If it was somebody else I'd pick on somebody else. Whoever it would be I'd be saying: 'What are you thinking about?' What's this all about?' "Keep your strip on to start with… who else do you see with a strip off?" When told that Pogba had removed his shirt to give to a fan, Macari added: "Well he shouldn't do! He should get off the pitch and then send someone out with a strip. "It's all about discipline. The discipline here under Sir Alex [Ferguson]." Manchester United's final match of the season was a dead rubber given the Red Devils had already blown their chances of a top four finish. But supporters were hoping the team would sign off on a positive note at Old Trafford. (Image: PA) It wasn't to be however as two goals from Nathaniel Mendez-Laing saw relegated Cardiff City run out 2-0 winners over their illustrious opponents. Pogba came under fire for his performance in the defeat after replays emerged of his defending for the Bluebirds' second goal. (Image: REUTERS) The Frenchman failed to track the run of Josh Murphy, who sprinted into the box and set up Mendez-Laing to bag his brace. Instead Pogba watched the midfielder collect the ball from a throw-in and enter the area before cutting the ball back for his team-mate to score.
