Manchester United Shocked 2-0 by Cardiff City on Final Day of EPL Season

Cardiff City shocked Manchester United and emerged 2-0 victors at Old Trafford on Sunday to end their season on a high note before dropping back down to the Championship next season.

United's defeat means they finish the season in sixth and will enter next term's UEFA Europa League during the second qualifying round.

Nathaniel Mendez-Laing converted from the spot after a harsh-looking penalty was given against Diogo Dalot, but the Cardiff midfielder's second was more conclusive following Jacob Murphy's assist.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first season in charge of the Red Devils ends with a stretch of six games without a victory, while defeat to his former club is a particularly bitter note on which to end 2018-19.
