IT WASN’T so long ago that a Premier League climax without Manchester United would have been unthinkable. But as Manchester City and Liverpool prepare to take the title to the wire on Sunday, United will be mere spectators in what has been their most disastrous season in modern history.

Currently seventh, 21 points behind leaders Liverpool, United host Hull City this evening in the last match of the season at Old Trafford. After Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Sunderland – the first time the Black Cats have won in Manchester since 1968 – the United faithful will be praying tonight passes off without a hitch in what will be the swansong for at least one senior player.
