Manchester United endured a season to forget, finishing sixth in the Premier League table and missing out on Champions League football for the third time in six years.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer resurrected United's form at Christmas time after a miserable start to the campaign under Jose Mourinho .
And though there were highlights along the way - namely the extraordinary comeback win against Paris Saint-Germain - the bad has outweighed the good.
A dismal end to the season saw United close out with only two wins from 12 games, including a draw with relegated Huddersfield Town and a final day defeat to doomed Cardiff City.
Solskjaer will be given time to rebuild the club, having only been appointed on a permanent basis in March, but major work is needed to turn United into a force again.
Check the gallery below to see how we have rated United's players for the 2018/19 season.

Manchester United 2018-19 player ratings David de Gea - 4/10 A poor year by an outstanding goalkeeper’s standards. Confidence seemed to be affected by errors and his limitations in distribution were sometimes exposed.
Getty
Manchester United 2018-19 player ratings Sergio Romero - 6/10 A dependable back-up in the domestic cups. Sent off in defeat to Derby in September, but did not let Solskjaer down in the run to the FA Cup quarter-finals.
Getty
Manchester United 2018-19 player ratings Victor Lindelof - 7/10 One of a few to emerge with any credit, even if he was more consistent in the first half of the campaign. His reputation enhanced, he is the only central defender whose place is secure.
Getty
Manchester United 2018-19 player ratings Phil Jones - 4/10 Unfairly targeted at times but still, eight years on from his arrival, far too injury prone and inconsistent to be depended upon. Even so, signed a new contract until 2023.
Getty
Manchester United 2018-19 player ratings Chris Smalling - 6/10 Led the defence well during Solskjaer’s first few weeks and months in charge but, like Jones, his limitations are well known by now.
Getty
Manchester United 2018-19 player ratings Luke Shaw - 7/10 Found confidence, consistency and finally established himself as a first-team regular. It proved enough to be named Player of the Year.
Manchester United 2018-19 player ratings Diogo Dalot - 6/10 A new arrival from Porto, Dalot showed glimpses of the potential which persuaded United to part with £19m. A solid if unspectacular debut year should now be built upon.

Manchester United 2018-19 player ratings Ashley Young - 4/10 Not the long-term solution to the right-back position yet a first-team regular with a chance of being the next club captain. Loyal and diligent but is he still the best option?
Getty
Manchester United 2018-19 player ratings Antonio Valencia - 3/10 Ends his long United career out of favour, but underwhelmed in the few appearances he made regardless. A correct decision to let him go.
Manchester United 2018-19 player ratings Matteo Darmian - 5/10 Somehow still at the club, yet did not totally disgrace himself when called upon for a handful of appearances. Needs to be moved on, nevertheless.
Getty
Manchester United 2018-19 player ratings Eric Bailly - 3/10 A bad year a player whose Old Trafford career undeniably went backwards. Embarrassed with early substitutions against Newcastle and Paris Saint-Germain.
Getty
Manchester United 2018-19 player ratings Marcos Rojo - 2/10 The curious United career of Rojo continues. Made just eight appearances, spent long spells sidelined with unspecified injuries, all less than a year after signing a new contract.
Getty
Manchester United 2018-19 player ratings Nemanja Matic - 4/10 First-choice at the base of midfield yet lacks the speed or technical ability of others in the same position at top clubs.
Getty
Manchester United 2018-19 player ratings Ander Herrera - 7/10 Impressed when employed as a destroyer and runner type in central midfield by Solskjaer, yet a new contract could not be agreed. Leaves after one of his better years.
Getty
Manchester United 2018-19 player ratings Paul Pogba - 6/10 Far from the worst offender but another season not commensurate to his talent. His 17 goals from midfield included eight penalties and another three spot-kicks were missed.

Manchester United 2018-19 player ratings Scott McTominay - 7/10 Proved himself to be first-team squad material with a series of good performances in the second half of the campaign. Most improved player by some distance.
Getty
Manchester United 2018-19 player ratings Fred - 4/10 A difficult first year in Manchester for United’s fourth-most expensive signing ever. Looked woefully off-the-pace at times, only moderately effective at others. Needs a big second season.
Manchester United 2018-19 player ratings Juan Mata - 5/10 A popular figure but did little to force the club into awarding him a new contract. May leave having rarely been used effectively in his best role and might even regret the wasted years.
Manchester United 2018-19 player ratings Andreas Pereira - 5/10 Strike against Southampton won club’s goal of the season award but offered little else to suggest that he is a long-term answer in midfield.
Getty
Manchester United 2018-19 player ratings Jesse Lingard - 4/10 After an impressive 2017-18, just five goals and four assists is a poor return. Injuries did not help but performances were inconsistent.
Getty
Manchester United 2018-19 player ratings Anthony Martial - 5/10 The talent is there but is too rarely displayed. Enjoyed a run of good form around October and Christmas, but fell quiet once he had signed a new contract.
Getty
Manchester United 2018-19 player ratings Alexis Sanchez - 2/10 The Premier League’s best-paid player was not worth a penny. Difficult to find any positives in a wretched season, bar that late goal which may have only prolonged Mourinho’s stay.
Getty
Manchester United 2018-19 player ratings Romelu Lukaku - 5/10 15 goals in 45 appearances for a £75m striker cannot be dressed up as anything but a disappointment. A player that neither Mourinho or Solskjaer have catered towards.
Getty
Manchester United 2018-19 player ratings Marcus Rashford - 5/10 Despite enjoying a run of form in the mid-part of the campaign, that was lost by the end. Questions remains over whether he will reach the elite bracket of strikers.
Getty
Manchester United 2018-19 player ratings Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - 5/10 A promising start, a worrying end. Several odd decisions and a tactical inconsistency have caused concern, but he should only be fully judged with a pre-season behind him.
