Manchester United was defeated by Villarreal in the Europa League final last night, and the Red Devils will be bitterly disappointed with their season's end.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team were unquestionably the favourites going into the game, but they fell short in the end.
The Spanish side produced a tenacious performance to hold the Premier League side to a 1-1 draw after extra time and then beat them in the penalty shootout.
David de Gea missed his spot-kick, handing La Liga the European Cup.
The fans will be disappointed with some of their players' performances against Villarreal, but Scott McTominay came away with his head held high.
The 24-year-old was a standout performer for the Red Devils, arguably one of the best players on the field.
Gary Lineker, a former Premier League player and popular pundit, has weighed in on the midfielder's performance against Villarreal.
Manchester United must now fill the gaps in their roster during the summer transfer window if they are to compete for trophies next season.
The defeat to Villarreal exposed some of United's glaring flaws.
Solskjaer must look to strengthen his attacking options while also bringing in a quality center-back to partner Harry Maguire.
