Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Man United played out a 1-1 draw with already relegated Premier League side Fulham in their penultimate fixture at Old Trafford.
A moment of brilliance from Edison Cavani gave the home side the lead but Joe Bryan brought the Cottagers level to earn a point at the Theatre of Dreams.
The Red Devils started the game brightly as they created series of chances before they scored the opening goal of the match in the 15th minute.
It all started from the back as David de Gea found Bruno Fernandes who seemed to have got a vital touch on the ball that fell to Cavani from 40 yards out.
The Uruguayan spotted Alphonse Areola off his line and made a delightful chip that beat the French goalkeeper from a distance to make it 1-0.
