A 1-0 defeat to Bayern Munich on Tuesday put Erik ten Hag’s team out of its misery as it finished bottom of Group A, having won just one of six games, ensuring it also missed out on the safety net of the Europa League. “This is the level we want to play, Champions League. So we have to give every effort to be in the top four and next year be back in the Champions League,” the United manager said as he assessed the latest setback in a season that has suffered one disappointment after another.
