Joe Hart, speaking to BBC Sport: "It is not what we set out to do at the start of the season but we will have to take it (fourth place).

"It was a strange day, getting the job done, barring a mathematical freak, we have Champions League football next season.

"At the start of the season, well into this season we were well in the title race, but we let ourselves down, we will take positives of a trophy and semi-final of the Champions League, which was history for our club and we have Champions League next year and we have to take that.

"I have enjoyed our time under Manuel, it was important we finished off a good three years working with him."
