Manchester United was eliminated by Bayern Munich 0-1, finished at the bottom of the group, and the dream of the Champions League group stage came to an end
In the sixth round of Group A of the UEFA Champions League, Manchester United sat at home and faced Bayern Munich, who were considered likely to advance to the next round of the Champions League, but unfortunately, they did not take this opportunity and were kept clean by Bayern and missed the Champions League!
After 6 games in the Champions League, Bayern Munich have five wins and one draw, Copenhagen is runners-up in the group, two wins, two draws, and both groups have already confirmed their places in the Champions League. Galatasaray have one win, two draws, three defeats and they are still in the Europa League qualifiers, while Manchester United have one win, one draw and four defeats and they have been ruled out of the final round of the Champions League!
Why are Manchester United so frustrated in the Champions League?There are three reasons for this, such as Ten Hag giving up on top stars like Jadon Sancho and putting Manchester United on the back foot
Reason No. 1: Ten Hag's waywardness has made a huge mistake. Ten Hag was under a lot of pressure as Manchester United manager to get the team back on the right track, but the atmosphere was so bad that Ten Hag felt he was up to the task.
In the Premier League, Manchester United lost to a weaker Bournemouth side and did not progress to the next round of the Champions League, and their form was poor, far from what they were meant to start the season.
But Ten Hag dropped him, which was one of the main reasons for United's defeat in the Champions League. With Jadon Sancho, United have more options and more options, Ten Hag is a stubborn man and Ten Hag really shouldn't give up this game.
Reason number 2: Manchester United's defence is not at the level it should be. In six Champions League games, Manchester United scored 15 goals, both of which were four: four goals against Bayern Munich in the first round and four in the second round defeat to Copenhagen.
What's more, two meetings with Galatasaray saw both teams score just three goals. Manchester United's ability to score more than three goals against all three of their opponents in the group stage shows just how weak their defence is.
In fact, Manchester United is not very accurate in looking at people, for example, after Manchester United signed Onana, Cameroon's goalkeeper became the savior of the team.
But now it seems that Onana's shot is completely out of proportion to his value, which makes them even more desperate, and they have only lost 15 goals in six Champions League games.
Reason 3: Manchester United's forward lacks effective attack. Manchester United's forwards didn't give their best, they played well, United were hungry to win, but their strikers weren't as strong as Bayern.
In fact, the game was somewhat similar to the match between Manchester United and Bournemouth, where the players were trying to produce goals without any sign of a goal, and instead their teams were working hard for their own goals.
In the case of falling behind, Manchester United began to panic, whether it was in passing or defending, their performance was not good enough, allowing the opponent to slowly grasp the initiative on the field, and finally had to admit that they lost.
To sum up, it's a bit of a shame that Manchester United didn't make it to the Champions League final, but there are many reasons for this, whether it's in attack and defence, their weaknesses are prominent, their defense is very poor, and their attacking ability is also very poor, so it's normal for them to not make it to the Champions League!
