Manchester United exited the Champions League with a whimper on Tuesday evening, falling to a pathetic 1-0 defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich at Old Trafford. Kinglsey Coman's second-half strike condemned the hosts to their fate, with Erik ten Hag's men unable to produce any sort of response in a tepid affair. It's fair to say that not many people believed Man Utd could pull off a shock at Old Trafford before kick-off, the Red Devils heading into the Game off the back of a 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth in the Premier League last Saturday.

Xavi Hernandez admitted that Barcelona "didn't understand" what was needed to beat Shakhtar Donetsk in the aftermath of their Champions League group stage defeat . The Catalan giants were beaten 1-0 by the Ukrainian champions in Hamburg, with Danylo Sikan's first-half header enough to earn three vital points in Group H. Barcelona had just one shot on target during the Game , with Shakhtar having four, and prolific goalscorer Robert Lewandowski has now gone six Game s without registering a shot on target - the first time the Pole has endured such a streak at club level since 2011. Barca are still in pole position to qualify for the knockout stages, having won their three previous group stage games, but a furious Xavi admitted his side's level was not where it needed to be. "We deserved to lose. We have to be honest. We played badly and nothing we had planned came off," he told reporters. "The level of our performances is really low at the moment. Th...

The problems keep mounting up for Erik ten Hag and Manchester United, who slipped to another defeat on Saturday as Brighton left Old Trafford as comfortable 3-1 victors . There were first Premier League starts for United for Rasmus Hojlund and Sergio Reguilon as Ten Hag switched to a 4-3-1-2 system but Danny Welbeck punctured the optimistic atmosphere with his strike in the 20th minute. The Red Devils had struck the bar with a deflected effort and saw a Hojlund strike chalked off for the ball sliding out of play before second-half efforts from Pascal Gross and Joao Pedro put Brighton into a comprehensive lead. Hannibal Mejbri did come off the bench to reduce the deficit from distance but it wasn't enough for United to wrestle back any momentum as they limped to a second league defeat in a row and a third in their opening five games of the 2023/24 season. That run is a landmark low for United. Never before have the Red Devils lost three of their first five Premier League Game s ...
