Manchester United's poor performance in the Champions League leads to their exit from Europe, highlighting their mediocrity as a team.
They sang all night about one of the great Champions League miracles, against this same opposition almost a quarter of a century ago. But this United team are nowhere near greatness. They are bang average at best and they are out of Europe after six miserable games. It’s a place for nostalgia, for banners of Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Matt Busby, songs of Solskjaer and Eric Cantona, and precious few mentions of the current bunch, an expensive squad decaying like Old Trafford itself.
United’s side barely conjured a notable scoring chance on a night when the mathematics of the situation demanded that they go hell-for-leather at United’s dismal Premier League campaign suggests that Old Trafford will not be hosting elite European competition again until September 2025 at the earliest. And this defeat meant that United do not even have the consolation of Europa League football in the new year
