Final league position 2016-17: 6th Three days before facing Ajax in the final of the UEFA Europa League, Manchester United named their youngest-ever starting XI in a Premier League game (average 22 years and 284 days). Angel Gomés became the first player born in 2000 to play in the Premier League. At 16 years and 263 days, he became United's youngest player since David Gaskell in the 1956 Charity Shield game against Manchester City (16 years and 19 days). On his debut, Josh Harrop became the 100th player to score for the Red Devils in the Premier League. Anthony Martial replaced Jesse Lingard in the second minute of added time in the first-half. Manchester United manager José Mourinho said: "Don't ask me too many things because now I am in the final, let me go home."

Final league position 2016-17: 14th As he resigned two days later, this was manager Sam Allardyce's final game in charge of Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace equalled their club record for the most defeats in a Premier League season (also 21 in 1997-98). The Eagles had now lost four of their last five games in the Premier League and failed to score in each of those four defeats. They had now failed to win any of their six away games on the final day of a Premier League season (lost four). Crystal Palace manager Sam Allardyce said: "We have all worked extremely hard, from the owners' support throughout the whole football club. My job was to lift everyone on the pitch and behind the scenes and get them working in the right direction. With the investment in January, very, very, very good performances came and that is why we stayed in the Premier League."
