Manchester United limped to a 1-0 defeat against Bayern Munich on Tuesday evening, snuffing out their hopes of competing in Europe for the remainder of the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The odds were against Erik ten Hag’s embattled side – who were unable to bounce back at home from a 3-0 humbling at the hands of Bournemouth over the weekend – with the Manchester club in need of results to go their way in the tie between Copenhagen and Galatasaray to secure a spot in the Champions League knockout stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But losing at Old Trafford put United out of contention for even a spot in the Europa League, capping a disappointing run abroad in the thick of a turbulent season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Here, Mail Sport’s Joe Bernstein runs through who rose to the occasion, and who struggled to step up against Thomas Tuchel’s team.\u00a0<\/p>\n

MAN UTD (4-2-3-1)<\/span><\/p>\n ANDRE ONANA – 7 <\/span>More secure than the wreck who\u2019d conceded 14 times in his first five Champions League games. Safe handling to deny Kane and Kimmich.\u00a0<\/p>\n DIOGO DALOT \u2013 6.5 <\/span>Showed positive intent going forward and got the balance right with defensive duties. Switched from right to left flank at half-time.\u00a0<\/p>\n HARRY MAGUIRE – 7 <\/span>Looked strong and authoritative alongside Varane and it was cruel to see him pull up with an apparent groin problem towards end of first half.<\/p>\n RAPHAEL VARANE \u2013 7.5 <\/span>Begged the question why ten Hag hasn\u2019t used him more. Was in the right place on his first start for six weeks until Kane\u2019s pass cut United open for Bayern\u2019s first goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n LUKE SHAW – 7 <\/span>Tigerish battle with Coman before he was replaced at half-time. Almost surprised Neuer with long-range strike the German punched away.\u00a0<\/p>\n Andre Onana was stronger than on other European nights against the German champions<\/p>\n Manchester United were unlucky to lose Harry Maguire just before the end of the first-half<\/p>\n Antony was unable to get on the front foot and lacked the necessary pace to threaten<\/p>\n SCOTT McTOMINAY \u2013 6<\/span> Energetic as ever but found Bayern a step up in class from the Premier League defences he\u2019s breached in recent weeks. Willing to get into final third.\u00a0<\/p>\n SOFYAN AMRABAT \u2013 6.5 <\/span>Neat and tidy on the ball but lack of pace exposed when he allowed Sane to get away from him for Bayern\u2019s best moment of first half. Booked.<\/p>\n ANTONY \u2013 5.5 <\/span>Tried to be more proactive than we\u2019ve seen in Premier League but it\u2019s just not happening. Lacked the pace to capitalise on Bruno\u2019s through ball. Booked.\u00a0<\/p>\n BRUNO FERNANDES \u2013 6 <\/span>Embraced every team-mate before kick-off as captain but wasted his two big moments with wayward strikes. Tracked back to deny Kane.\u00a0<\/p>\n ALEJANDRO GARNACHO \u2013 6 <\/span>Put his serious game-face on but took it too far when he grabbed Coman and sent him over the hoardings. A buzz whenever he got on the ball.\u00a0<\/p>\n RASMUS HOJLUND \u2013 5.5 <\/span>Has usually saved his best performances for Europe, but this wasn\u2019t one of them. Got very little out of Upemacano and a strong Bayern defence.\u00a0<\/p>\n SUBSTITUTIONS<\/span> Evans (for Maguire 40) 5.5 Wan-Bissaka (for Shaw 45) 6.5 Hannibal (for Garnacho 75) Pellistri (for Antony 75) Mainoo (for Varane 80)<\/p>\n MANAGER ERIK TEN HAG \u2013 6.5<\/span> Has to be commended for not being stubborn and giving Varane a rare start.

Didn\u2019t score but expert pass to set up Coman\u2019s goal in the second half.\u00a0<\/p>\n Bayern (4-2-3-1): <\/span>Neuer 6: Mazaroui 6 (Laimer 45 6), Upemecano 8.5, Kim 7, Davies 6; Goretzka 6, Kimmich 6; Coman 7 (Tel 78), Musiala 5.5 (Muller 67 6), Sane 6.5 (Guerreiro 90); Kane 7 Subs unused: Perez (Gk), Choupo-Moting, Kratzig, Pavlovic Goal: Coman 70 Booked: Goretzka<\/p>\n REFEREE: ESPEN ESKAS (NORWAY) \u2013 7<\/span> Unfussy.
