THAT’s ALL FROM ME
Man Utd didn’t get the win they wanted in front of their returning fans, but at least they didn’t lose!
Second is all but guaranteed, and next season is all about catching their city rivals Man City at the top of the league.
And for Fulham, they’ll be looking to bounce next season and return to the Premier League at the first time of asking.
Elsewhere, we’re being treated to the sequel of the weekend’s FA Cup final.
A win for Leicester confirms their place inside the top four, and for Chelsea, revenge is very much on their mind!

Goodnight!
GUNNAR HAVE TO WAIT
THESE ARE THE special moments Ole Solskjaer promised Edinson Cavani when he convinced him to stay on at Old Trafford.
Scoring in front of an empty stadium is one thing, scoring in front of fans in The Stretford End is quite something else.
And when you score a goal that will go down in the pantheon of great strikes at Old Trafford it is something else still.
His incredible 15th minute chip on the run from 40 yards brought a roar from the 10,000 inside the stadium that sounded like five times that many.

FT: MAN UTD 1-1 FULHAM
Fulham came out after the half-time break and looked like they wanted in more than Man Utd.
And that’s strange, as you would have thought United would have wanted to put a show on for their returning fans.
But disaster struck in the 76th minute when Bryan met Reid’s inch-perfect cross at the back post to beat De Gea.
All it took was one good chance!
And for the final 15 minutes or so, Fulham looked more likely to score – but it wasn’t meant to be.
PEEEEEEEEEEEP!
