Sir Alex Ferguson looked disgusted with Manchester United after their abject loss to Tottenham in the Europa League final, new footage shows.
Ruben Amorim's side put in a limp performance on Wednesday to compound an already miserable season.
The Red Devils sit in a lowly 16th place with just one Premier League fixture remaining and they won't compete in any European competition next season for just the second time in 35 years.
Tens of thousands of United fans travelled to Bilbao in the hope of ending their season with some silverware but they were left disappointed as Brennan Johnson's effort gave Spurs their first trophy in 17 years.
Sir Alex Ferguson was also in attendance at the San Mames Stadium in the directors' box and was sat next to co-owner Jim Ratcliffe and Avram Glazer.
United's most succesful manager ever, who famously said 'Lads it's Tottenham' to motivate his side against the north Londoners, appeared appalled after the full-time whistle.
Footage posted on Instagram shows the 83-year-old grimacing as Tottenham's post-match celebrations continued.
Social media users were quick to react. One wrote: 'Sir Alex Ferguson looking absolutely disgusted with what he was witnessing last night.'
Others expressed sympathy for the Scot.
Another fan said: 'I honestly feel bad for him, he built up this club, took it to the top of the world all for it to come crashing down the moment he leaves.'
'He's seen enough,' another added, accompanied by laughing emojis.
The trouble for United extends far beyond the pitch, with Ratcliffe in the midst of a ruthless cost-cutting process.
Ferguson, who won 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups, and two Champions League titles during 26 years in the Old Trafford hot seat, became the highest profile victim after he lost his £2million-a-year contract as a global club ambassador in October.
A further 200 United staff members could lose their jobs following extra financial cutbacks, with MailOnline reporting that United began the process of telling staff they have lost their jobs just hours after the team’s defeat in the Europa League final.
Around 250 employees were made redundant in a first round of job cuts, which is believed to have saved the club between £8million and £10m.
United chief executive Omar Berrada previously said another 150 to 200 redundancies could follow.
The Europa League final loss, which means United won't compete in next season's Champions League, has left a £100m hole in the club's finances.
United host Aston Villa on Sunday in the final game of a wholly disappointing campaign.
If they fail to win they could end the season in 17th, while a victory could only push them as high as 14th.
