FLAWED REDS ARE FLOORED

Ten Hag's rock-bottom flops fail to make Europa League

- JOHN CROSS

HOW the mighty have fallen. And even worse for Manchester United, they crashed out of Europe without a fight.

Not good enough for the Champions League, not even good enough to make the Europa League, they were condemned to a defeat leaving them bottom of Group A.

That was the final humiliation for Erik ten Hag whose team are going backwards and their lame surrender at Old Trafford must raise further doubts about his future.

If the players are really behind the manager, they have a funny way of showing it because they never remotely looked like pulling off a miracle.

Bayern Munich looked to be in second gear all night and yet still United could not get close to them. Never once did United look like scoring. They have now not scored in 201 minutes in all competitions.

This place used to conjure up magical European nights when mighty teams crumbled amid red-hot atmospheres as United were genuine Champions League heavyweights.
