Manchester United suffered heartbreak on Tuesday night after being dumped out of the Champions League via a 1-0 defeat at home to Bayern Munich.
English giants, or perhaps, sleeping giants, Manchester United, were sent packing from the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night after losing 1-0 to Bayern Munich.
They finished bottom of a group also containing Galatasaray and Copenhagen.
It was another low in a season packed with lows, and another home defeat to further deepen Erik ten Hag's woes.

However, they may have stood a much better chance if goalkeeper Andre Onana performed to the best of his abilities in Europe's premier competition.

How Onana contributed to Manchester United's exit
)
Onana faced a tough season, conceding 15 goals in six appearances and being directly responsible for several. Notably, Leroy Sane's opening-game effort against Bayern Munich only required a routine save than any academy keeper would be expected to make.
The Cameroonian followed that up with a weak, errant pass, which led to Casemiro giving away a penalty against Galatasaray before falling to the ground early as Mauro Icardi netted the late winner.
In the return leg, the struggling shot-stopper was again to blame as two unfortunate free-kick goals were conceded meekly to Hakim Ziyech in Istanbul.
Despite an added-time penalty save against Copenhagen providing a glimmer of hope for Onana and United's progression, the 27-year-old continued to struggle.
The Red Devils may have progressed if Onana was at his best, unfortunately, he has not been.
