Manchester United called a mid-table group after 1-0 loss to Everton

Match of the Day have Gary Lineker has marked Manchester United as a 'mid-table group' after Saturday's 1-0 loss to Everton.

Following the loss at Everton, Manchester United are seventh in the Premier League and could pass up Champions League football next season.

Lineker said: "Goodbye. It's with overwhelming sadness that I present to you the Match of the Day running request this evening.

"We start, tune in, with Everton 1-0 Manchester United. Presently an extraordinary outcome for Everton a tremendously significant game at the lower part of the table, Manchester United clearly mid-table, however that leads."

It could then be heard behind the scenes that somebody asked Lineker: "Mid-table?" And the host had a somewhat pompous look all over as he answered: "Mid-table at this point."

Passing up Champions League football will be very exorbitant to United's mid year plans, with another administrator expected to be designated soon.
