United have been poor in Europe this season, but had their destiny in their own hands on Wednesday night when they twice opened up a two-goal lead in the hostile Istanbul atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>But mistakes from Andre Onana cost United dearly as they had to share a point with Galatasaray, leaving them bottom of their group. United now have to win against Bayern Munich in their final group game and rely on Copenhagen and Galatasaray&#8217;s match ending in a draw to qualify for the knockout stage.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Devils have been in and out of the Champions League for several years now having been regulars in the competition under Sir Alex Ferguson. Since the legendary Scottish manager retired in 2013, United have only featured in the knockout phase of the Champions League in four out of the 10 seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Hamann has taken aim at the current United side, insisting they&#8217;re far away from repeating the success of Ferguson&#8217;s great teams at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/5093667.jpg?r=1701363588069\"><\/p>\n<p>And the Liverpool hero doubts whether Ten Hag&#8217;s side will be able to make it out of their group when it comes to beating Bayern. &#8220;Man United is a shadow of its former self,&#8221; he told Sky Germany.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The team cannot be compared to the big teams under Sir Alex Ferguson. They would have to beat Bayern to advance, which is questionable in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd handed plan to work out as Jurgen Klopp hints to Ten Hag about two stars[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Jurgen Klopp eyes Dortmund raid for Mohamed Salah replacement Donyell Malen[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Liverpool get Szoboszlai reality check as star&#8217;s blunt omission hits home[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And if there is a winner between Copenhagen and Galatasaray, Manchester will be out.&#8221; Ten Hag is now under pressure to get things going in the league after a disappointing start to the season.<\/p>\n<p>A convincing 3-0 win away at Everton last weekend will have relieved some pressure and saw United claw back some points to their rivals. They&#8217;re just six points adrift of league leaders Arsenal, but head into a tricky run of fixtures over the festive period.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re next six matches feature games against Newcastle, Chelsea, Liverpool and Aston Villa in a run that could make or break their season.
