Manchester United have been knocked out of the Champions League and now prepare to face Liverpool at Anfield.
Manchester United’s average season took a turn for the worse as the country crashed out of the Champions League. The Red Devils were knocked out of the competition in spectacular fashion, losing 1-0 to Bayern Munich at Old Trafford.
United finished bottom of Group A with four points, the worst result in the club’s history, as Copenhagen joined Bayern Munich in the play-offs.
Manchester United won’t even advance to the Europa League playoffs. This place was given to Galatasaray. Of course, the pressure on coach Erik Ten Haag also increased.
Manchester United are only sixth in the Premier League despite spending £170m in the summer transfer window. “The team performed very well, we did a good job in defense and in the press,” he told TNT Sports.
We had a lot of turnovers, especially in the second half. But we haven’t had enough. “We played against a strong team,” he said.United are not holding back as they head into one of the biggest games of the season against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday (16:30 GMT).
Jurgen Klopp’s men are top of the Premier League, 10 points clear of their bitter rivals. Liverpool won last weekend’s match by a famous score of 7-0.Manchester United lost 3-0 to Bournemouth at Old Trafford last weekend and have also suffered defeats at home to Crystal Palace and Brighton this season.
Jamie Carragher has told his United side they are better off against Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich as the Ten Hag prepare to play Liverpool, but believes this is “grasping at straws”, CBS Sports believes.
Carragher said: “I think it’s because Manchester United have been so bad this season. You are playing against one of the best teams in Europe and there are no injured players. “I think it’s because we haven’t beaten you 3-0 or 4-0 yet. European football.” And if you win 1-0 he will try to get something and go on Sunday.
“Tomorrow he will say to the players: ‘You played against one of the best teams in Europe, anything could have happened. Now we have to go to Anfield and put in some sort of performance.” “The result looks very difficult on the surface, but it looks like the manager is grasping at straws.”
