Top four hopes over as Man Utd draw at Huddersfield

Manchester United's hopes of a top four finish are over after a 1-1 draw at Huddersfield.

The Terriers had managed just four points in their previous 23 games but watched by outgoing chairman Dean Hoyle, earned a share of the spoils as Isaac Mbenza's first goal for the club levelled Scott McTominay's first-half effort.

In a frantic finish, young United substitute Tahith Chong had a shot saved and Paul Pogba hit the bar before David de Gea denied Karlan Grant a winner at the other end.

It means United have now gone five games without a win, their worst sequence since they went eight games without a victory under Louis van Gaal between November and December 2015.

The result means Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side cannot catch either Chelsea or Tottenham and have only a slim chance of finishing above Arsenal in fifth.
