Manchester United will not be playing Champions League football next season
“Disappointment, more than anything,” said Boycott of this season, which saw United miss out on Champions League football.
“The football hasn’t been inspiring, if anything they’ve let themselves and the people that support them down.”
In an attempt to change the subject, MUTV presenter Mark Sullivan asked Boycott about the future under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and the 78-year-old replied: “He doesn’t have a record of experience.”
