Man United won the clash 2-1 to end the disastrous season with a trophy.

Alejandro Garnacho opened the scoring before Mainoo made it two in the 39th minute.

Mainoo was found in the box by a clever pass from Bruno Fernandes and then slotted past Stefan Ortega.

Tyler was commentating on the match on the world feed and described the goal: "Manchester United with Bruno Fernandes, mis-kicked it... Mainoo!"

However, this has upset the club's supporters by calling the Portuguese star's no-look pass a "miskick".

Specsavers replied: "Called him but he mispicked up the phone."

A fan posted: "Martin Tyler should retire immediately ????????."

A second wrote: "'Miskicked it', the can’t help but hate on the kings man."

A third commented: "Think Martin Tyler needs to visit Specsavers."

A fourth said: "Probably the best assist of the season to being regarded as a missed kick."

Another added: "I honesty don’t understand how he thought that was a miss-kick. One of the most sublime passes you’ll ever see."

Man United legend Wayne Rooney had a very different interpretation of the move to Tyler.

He said on the BBC: "The second goal is an unbelievable goal. The pass from Bruno [Fernandes] is incredible.

"Not many players in world football could make that pass."

Jeremy Doku got one back for Manchester City in the closing stages but they were unable to find an equaliser.

Tyler, 78, was formerly commentating for Sky Sports but claimed he was "stepped down" after 33 year.
