Again they were given a short stay of execution when Sunderland beat relegation rivals Norwich at Carrow Road in the early kick off.

But this afternoon's 1-0 defeat to United, sealed by Marcus Rashford's first half goal, is the final nail in the claret and blue coffin.

I remember discussing our chances of promotion with my Dad at about this point of the season. We had taken my daughters swimming at the time and we both agreed it was extremely unlikely. I said we would need to win almost all of the games left to have a chance of the playoffs, impossible we thought.

Then we won 10 on the bounce, unbelievable stuff.
