As the energy and attitude shown during Solskjaer’s caretaker stint ebbed away, relegated Huddersfield took advantage as the home faithful enjoyed their last taste of Premier League football at the John Smith’s Stadium. This result ended United’s faint hopes of a top-four finish as the Terriers avoided a record-equalling 15th top-flight home loss. United faltered after Scott McTominay got them off to a fine start in West Yorkshire, where Isaac Mbenza punished a shambolic display to give Town fans an all-too-rare reason to cheer.
