‘From 5th to 5th’ – Man Utd trolled after being denied Top 4 spot by Southampton

The narrative going into Manchester United’s match against Southampton, particularly after both Chelsea and Leicester had lost, centered on how the Red Devils would leapfrog both teams into third with a win.

Most United fans were certain this would happen, given their team’s impressive recent form and great performances from some of their key players.

The hours between the two losses and Man Utd’s Monday night game were spent on social media by fans mocking the two clubs and looking ahead to what could have been a deserved top four spot, even if temporary.

However, Southampton spoiled the party, snatching a very late draw at Old Trafford through Michael Obafemi’s 96th-minute goal.

The point helped Man United move to 59 points, level with Leicester City.

Crucially, however, United stayed 5th behind Leicester who have a better goal difference and a further point behind Chelsea in third.

What should have been a celebratory night for United fans, suddenly turned into a nightmare as fans from their rivals for the top four spot, as well as Liverpool and Man City fans for good measure, took to social media to mock the Red Devils.

While Man United fans tried to pick apart this lost opportunity, opposition supporters trolled them mercilessly with many, expectedly, focusing on United’s “rise” from fifth to fifth.

Take a look at some of the best reactions below:
