MANCHESTER UNITED SEASON RATINGS: GOALKEEPERS: David de Gea 6 - By his own high standards and the fact he’s the best paid player in the Premier League, an underwhelming season. Started 35 matches as he lost his undisputed number one status Dean Henderson. Appeared a more solid pair of hands towards the end and started in Gdansk. One of the very few title-winners left at the club and he could have added a Europa League, but he took the penalty which decided the match. EPA

Dean Henderson - 7. In the squad 60 times, more than any other player and started 26 games (picking up three yellow cards). Got the games he wanted and deserved and convinced in some, if not all. Ultra-confident and highly vocal, but needs to be more stable playing in front of 74,000 next season. Encouraging. Getty

DEFENDERS: Aaron Wan-Bissaka - 7. The right back continues to improve. His tackling has never been an issue, his final balls and forward positioning have – though he got better and made as many assists as Shaw. Much better when confident and needs to be pushed, hence United looking for a backup right back to provide competition. AP

Luke Shaw - 9. Players’ player of the year and had his best season of his seven, injury-hit ones at the club. Pushed by Telles, he pushed himself. Confident going forward and made six assists – though got 13 yellow cards. Key player, his goal at Manchester City was a highlight. Getty

Alex Telles - 5. The Brazilian left back started only 15 matches after his move from Porto. His presence upped Luke Shaw’s game significantly. Packs a fine cross and has his merits but would have hoped to appear more. Getty

Eric Bailly - 5. Signed a new contract on the condition that he’ll play more after only 21 games of the 61 United played this season. It’s up to him to show he’s worth it. Started against his former team in Gdansk but even there, he gave away stupid fouls. AP

Victor Lindelof - 7. Highly rated at the club and better with Maguire than any other player. 44 starts meant he was a first-choice defender. Ball playing defender but who fails to impose himself. He’s not Vidic or Ferdinand class and that’s the issue when compared with players like Dias at City, the player who took his place in the Benfica team before his move to England. Getty

He’s 23 and it’s now or never if he’s to be a main central defender. Or maybe he’ll stay as back up. Every team needs them. AFP

MIDFIELDERS: Fred - 6. Energetic and first choice, if not first class, midfielder. 47 starts, the low point being his sending off at home to PSG. Faded towards the end of the season. Like McTominay whom he plays with as a defensive two in a 4-2-3-1 formation, he’s not a world class midfielder but he’s been sufficient to stay in a side which finished second in the best league in the world.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team finished season without a trophy

Manchester United were forced to swallow a tough pill after a hard-fought 2020/21 season.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team came agonisingly close before enduring a Europa League final defeat to Villarreal.

The defeat extended the Premier League giants run without a major trophy to four years as they lost 11-10 on penalties following a 1-1 draw in Gdansk, with goalkeeper David de Gea missing the final spot-kick.

United are now without a trophy since their Europa League triumph in 2017.

However, United did battle hard in the league, making Manchester City fight for their title.

"It's not a successful season and those are the fine margins in football. Sometimes one kick can define a season as successful or a good one, and it can define it as not one," said Solskjaer.

"Trophies matter and that's what matters at this club."

So was the glass half-full or half-empty for United? We rate the players over the season in the picture gallery above.

Tributes from the UAE's personal finance community

• Sebastien Aguilar, who heads SimplyFI.org, a non-profit community where people learn to invest Bogleheads’ style

“It is thanks to Jack Bogle’s work that this community exists and thanks to his work that many investors now get the full benefits of long term, buy and hold stock market investing.

Compared to the industry, investing using the common sense approach of a Boglehead saves a lot in costs and guarantees higher returns than the average actively managed fund over the long term. 

From a personal perspective, learning how to invest using Bogle’s approach was a turning point in my life. I quickly realised there was no point chasing returns and paying expensive advisers or platforms. Once money is taken care off, you can work on what truly matters, such as family, relationships or other projects. I owe Jack Bogle for that.”

• Sam Instone, director of financial advisory firm AES International

"Thought to have saved investors over a trillion dollars, Jack Bogle’s ideas truly changed the way the world invests. Shaped by his own personal experiences, his philosophy and basic rules for investors challenged the status quo of a self-interested global industry and eventually prevailed.  Loathed by many big companies and commission-driven salespeople, he has transformed the way well-informed investors and professional advisers make decisions."

• Demos Kyprianou, a board member of SimplyFI.org

"Jack Bogle for me was a rebel, a revolutionary who changed the industry and gave the little guy like me, a chance. He was also a mentor who inspired me to take the leap and take control of my own finances."

• Steve Cronin, founder of DeadSimpleSaving.com

"Obsessed with reducing fees, Jack Bogle structured Vanguard to be owned by its clients – that way the priority would be fee minimisation for clients rather than profit maximisation for the company.

His real gift to us has been the ability to invest in the stock market (buy and hold for the long term) rather than be forced to speculate (try to make profits in the shorter term) or even worse have others speculate on our behalf.

Bogle has given countless investors the ability to get on with their life while growing their wealth in the background as fast as possible. The Financial Independence movement would barely exist without this."

• Zach Holz, who blogs about financial independence at The Happiest Teacher

"Jack Bogle was one of the greatest forces for wealth democratisation the world has ever seen.  He allowed people a way to be free from the parasitical "financial advisers" whose only real concern are the fat fees they get from selling you over-complicated "products" that have caused millions of people all around the world real harm.”

• Tuan Phan, a board member of SimplyFI.org

"In an industry that’s synonymous with greed, Jack Bogle was a lone wolf, swimming against the tide. When others were incentivised to enrich themselves, he stood by the ‘fiduciary’ standard – something that is badly needed in the financial industry of the UAE."

Ziina users can donate to relief efforts in Beirut

Ziina users will be able to use the app to help relief efforts in Beirut, which has been left reeling after an August blast caused an estimated $15 billion in damage and left thousands homeless. Ziina has partnered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to raise money for the Lebanese capital, co-founder Faisal Toukan says. “As of October 1, the UNHCR has the first certified badge on Ziina and is automatically part of user's top friends' list during this campaign. Users can now donate any amount to the Beirut relief with two clicks. The money raised will go towards rebuilding houses for the families that were impacted by the explosion.”

What is a robo-adviser?

Robo-advisers use an online sign-up process to gauge an investor’s risk tolerance by feeding information such as their age, income, saving goals and investment history into an algorithm, which then assigns them an investment portfolio, ranging from more conservative to higher risk ones.

These portfolios are made up of exchange traded funds (ETFs) with exposure to indices such as US and global equities, fixed-income products like bonds, though exposure to real estate, commodity ETFs or gold is also possible.

Investing in ETFs allows robo-advisers to offer fees far lower than traditional investments, such as actively managed mutual funds bought through a bank or broker. Investors can buy ETFs directly via a brokerage, but with robo-advisers they benefit from investment portfolios matched to their risk tolerance as well as being user friendly.

Many robo-advisers charge what are called wrap fees, meaning there are no additional fees such as subscription or withdrawal fees, success fees or fees for rebalancing.
