"I think the best team won," he said after last game against Utd at Villa Park.
"United are a class act and they have got quality all over the pitch.
"We gave away goals that we normally don't concede, but the defeat hasn't taken the gloss off of the season.
"I am so proud of my players and to finish sixth is a fantastic achievement for this club."
"The top five are the top five, we have finished the best of the rest."
