According to Sky Sports, Kingsley Coman scored the only goal of the match for Bayern as the Red Devils were eliminated from the competition.

Having won only once in their last five group matches, United needed nothing short of a victory to stand any chance of qualifying for the last 16.

Speaking after the Bayern defeat, however, ten Hag boldly claimed his charges staged a good performance in the tie.

Fans blast ten Hag over UCL comments

The Dutchman's comments sparked anger and outrage from a section of Man United fans, with some expressing their disbelief at the manager's remarks.

"We didn't lose it today. We had some good performances, but we made some mistakes, individual errors from players," ten Hag noted via TNT Sports.
@MrPenderes0 posted:
"Erik Ten Hag will never be my coach."

@MikeHal08477906 observed:

"Worse than Solskjaer. I wonder if his agent has found him a new club for when he gets sacked."

@Frenchy_85 fumed:

"The ‘learn from it’ quote again 🤦‍♂️"

@RYANGIBSON79 concluded:

"Not got a clue what he’s talking about. Better to say nothing sometimes if you ain’t going to speak the truth."

Meanwhile, United will be looking to bounce back to winning ways when they play rivals, Liverpool in the Premier League this weekend.

Man United facing injury crisis

Sports Brief also previously reported that United will be without 13 players at least ahead of their Liverpool cracker on Sunday, December 17.

This is after the Red Devils suffered a double defensive injury blow during their Champions League clash against Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
