The marvellous change in fortune since Solskjaer took over the reins in December that saw them lose just a solitary game in his first 18 games in charge did paper over the cracks present in the squad. But the cracks have resurfaced in this wretched run since their PSG win that has seen them exit from the FA Cup and the Champions League while their chances of securing a top-four finish are slim.

In his press conferences, Ole has spoken of the rebuilding job that awaits him and tough decisions that need to be made. This performance only intensifies the need for major investment in the summer as it will be important that the manager will be given full backing to mould the team in his image.

The team desperately needs a top quality centre back which is no secret while additions in the full back, as well as the midfield area, will be needed. United are linked to a host of players and are been reported target young British players after a short-term transfer approach in recent years.

This United team is struggling to finish in the top four, let alone challenge for the Premier League as they suffer the ramifications from an incoherent transfer strategy and mediocre buys with the constant chopping and changing of managers. Ed Woodward, who was in attendance at Goodison for this shambolic defeat, will need to loosen the purse strings and prepare himself for another big summer ahead at United.
