Sir Alex Ferguson's four-word reaction to Cardiff defeat to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Sir Alex Ferguson was far from impressed by Manchester United's final day defeat to Cardiff .

United's disappointing campaign came to an end with an embarrassing 2-0 loss to relegated Cardiff at Old Trafford.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men finished the season in sixth and ended closer to the drop zone than to champions Manchester City .

Ferguson was once again in the stands at Old Trafford and watched on as Nathaniel Mendez-Laing scored twice for the Bluebirds.

After the final whistle, he was required to present an award as honorary president for the Robert Burns International Foundation.

United have great work to do to get back into the top four this summer after falling well short this season.

Solskjaer is closing in on a deal for Swansea's Daniel James, while Kalidou Koulibaly, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Nicolas Pepe are also targets.

And executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward says Solskjaer will get the financial backing he requires.
