Champions League | Manchester United loses 1-0 to Bayern Munich and crashes out

Manchester United suffer embarrassing Champions League exit after 1-0 loss to Bayern Munich; 12th defeat of season for Erik ten Hag's team; Copenhagen advance to round of 16; Harry Maguire injured; pressure mounts on Ten Hag.
Jeers rang around Old Trafford on Tuesday as Manchester United suffered an embarrassingly early exit from the Champions League after a 1-0 loss to Bayern Munich.
Kingsley Coman's 70th-minute goal ended the three-time European Cup winners' slim chances of advancing to the knockout stage and delivered a latest blow in an ever-worsening season for Erik ten Hag.
The 12th defeat in all competitions this season meant United could not even secure the safety net of a place in the Europa League after finishing bottom of Group A.
"The facts are we do not have enough points, we are disappointed as a group, as a manager, I am disappointed. We should have done better," Ten Hag said.
Copenhagen advanced to the round of 16 behind group winner Bayern after beating Galatasaray 1-0. That result meant even a United win would not have seen it advance to the next stage.
Injury to Harry Maguire only added to Ten Hag's concerns ahead of Sunday's Premier League game at leader Liverpool, with the pressure mounting on the Dutchman.
United never looked like getting the win it needed after registering just one shot on target — a long-range effort from Luke Shaw — in the entire match. And fans made their feelings known as the final whistle blew on another disappointing night for Ten Hag's team, while Bayern supporters revelled in taunting their rivals.
