Heading into the showdown against the German champions, the Red Devils understood the imperative of securing a win while banking on a favourable Copenhagen vs Galatasaray outcome. Regrettably, they fell short of victory, concluding their group-stage campaign at the bottom. Following this setback, the Dutch coach, reportedly as per the Daily Mail, conveyed to the United players that clinching the league title remained a significant objective. He emphasized that the team’s fortunes could swiftly shift if they dedicated themselves to it.

The team’s elimination confirmed Manchester United’s 15-year drought without clinching the prestigious European club title. Additionally, Ten Hag hasn’t found smooth sailing domestically, with the team currently positioned seventh in the Premier League, trailing Tottenham Hotspur by five points in fourth place.

Manchester United conceded a total of 15 goals across six Champions League group-stage matches, a record as reported by Opta, marking the highest number of goals conceded in the group stages by any English club in the competition’s history.

After securing a draw against fierce rivals Liverpool in their previous outing, Ten Hag’s squad aims to carry that confidence forward into their upcoming match against West Ham on Saturday, December 23.
