Gylfi Sigurðsson levelled in the 70th minute, but seven minutes later, Wayne Rooney flicked home the winner. Their next match saw them travel to St James' Park to play Newcastle.

Anthony Martial cancelled out an early Wahbi Khazri opener, before a De Gea own goal provided Sunderland with the three points. An injury-hit United however rallied in their next match, gaining a surprise (given the circumstances) victory over Arsenal at Old Trafford, winning 3–2.

This was the final game at the Boleyn Ground. United led the match 2–1 courtesy of an Anthony Martial double, yet West Ham produced a late fightback, which appeared to doom any chance of a top-four finish for United. United required Manchester City to lose to Swansea to stand any reasonable chance of a top-four finish. United had a home fixture with Bournemouth to end the campaign. However, while both games were due to kick-off at the same time on 15 May, a 'suspect package' was found at Old Trafford, leading to a full stadium evacuation.http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/manchester-united-old-trafford-evacuated-11335184 Confusion yet calm atmosphere inside Old Trafford after suspect package found Mathieson Stuart 15 May 2016 Manchester Evening News 6 July 2017 The match was eventually postponed amid safety fears, and the incident was subsequently revealed to be a hoax, being labelled a 'fiasco'.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36297390 Old Trafford: Urgent inquiry demanded after bomb 'fiasco' 16 May 2016 BBC Sport 6 July 2017 This bizarre set of circumstances deprived United of a chance to apply pressure on City, who ultimately drew to Swansea to secure a top-four finish. United's match against Bournemouth was re-arranged for 17 May, two days after intended kick-off, and they closed the campaign in style, winning 3–1 with goals from Wayne Rooney, Marcus Rashford and Ashley Young. United would miss out on Champions League football on goal difference to their city rivals, however, a fifth-place finish was good enough to qualify for Europa League football in the next season.
