SIR ALEX FERGUSON let Ole Gunnar Solskjaer know exactly what he thought of Manchester United’s defeat against Cardiff.

United had a torrid season, with the Red Devils missing out on the top four.

They finished sixth under Solskjaer, with the Red Devils having to settle for Europa League football.

United had to watch their arch rivals Liverpool and Manchester City battle for the Premier League title, with Pep Guardiola’s side running out winners.

Solskjaer’s dismal run at Old Trafford was capped off with a 2-0 home defeat against Cardiff last weekend on the final day of the Premier League season.

A Nathaniel Mendez-Laing brace stunned United, with the already-relegated Cardiff winning at Old Trafford.

And Sir Alex Ferguson wasn’t impressed after United’s shock defeat.

The club’s former boss was pictured speaking to Solskjaer after the game, with Mike Phelan also present.

And according to Hungarian outlet Nemzeti Sport, Ferguson turned to Solskjaer and said: "Son! What was that?!"

Ferguson, Solskjaer and Phelan were pictured sharing a bottle of wine after the Cardiff defeat.

United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has confirmed Solskjaer will be backed in the summer transfer window.

The United chief said: "After a turbulent season, everyone at Manchester United is focused on building towards the success that this great club expects and our fans deserve.

"Preparations for the new season are under way and the underlying strength of our business will allow us to support the manager and his team as we look to the future.

"The season that has just ended clearly didn't end the way we hoped, finishing in sixth place and with a disrupted managerial change part way through.

"However, Ole and the squad battled back from mid-December to put us in contention to qualify for the Champions League next season, but ultimately we came up short.

"While the last few weeks were disappointing, we are delighted to have confirmed the appointment of Ole as our manager on a three-year contract, and to have recently confirmed the key members of the coaching team.

"Mike Phelan, Michael Carrick, Kieran McKenna and Mark Dempsey will all be remaining at the club.

"Everyone at the club - the board, the manager, the squad and all the staff are resolute in our desire to get United back to the top of English football. We continually look to improve staff on and off the pitch to achieve this.

"The strength of our business means we have the financial resources to continue to provide a solid foundation for backing the manager and creating success on the pitch. This, as ever, remains our number one goal."
