With two cup matches in five days, one against Fulham in the FA Cup fifth round and another against Real Sociedad in the Europa League last 16 Manchester United and their head coach had a chance to salvage something from a dismal season.

United, the defending champions, bowed out as Victor Lindelöf and Joshua Zirkzee failed to convert from the spot.
Ruben Amorim’s crucial week got off to a disappointing start.
