Manchester United’s hopes of making the Top 4 were further dented on Saturday, after they were held to a goalless draw at Old Trafford by West Bromwich Albion.
It was yet another frustrating outing at Old Trafford for Manchester United, as they were held to a yet another stalemate – their 8th at home in the Premier League this season – by West Brom.
This was another game in which Manchester United dominated the bulk of the possession, but with men behind the ball from the opposition, failed to create many chances. Former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster, also made a mark with two outstanding second half saves.
As Jose Mourinho’s men struggled to win three point at home yet again, here are the best tweets to emerge in the immediate aftermath of Saturday’s match.
FT: United 0 West Brom 0.

The biggest miss to this Manchester United team is Ander Herrera. So underrated his energy and willingness to push forward. Superb player.

@ManUtd your players earn 200k to 300k per week and yet haven’t worked on how to put the ball in the net.

@ManUtd Dear opponents, either win or let us win. Don’t come to us for goalless draw. Sick and tired of the same results.
