Ten Hag insists Man Utd have plenty to play for after European exit<\/h3>\n

Erik ten Hag admitted Manchester United \u201cshould have done better\u201d as they limply exited Europe at Old Trafford on Tuesday night – but Paul Scholes disagreed with the manager’s assessment of their 1-0 home defeat to Bayern Munich. United’s 12th loss of the season left them rooted to the bottom of Group A in the Champions League.<\/p>\n

They crash out of the competition without even the consolation of a place in the Europa League after collecting a mere four points from an available 18. They only managed victory at home to Copenhagen, losing away at the Danish side as well as at home to Galatasaray. They fell to defeat home and away against Bayern.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had the opportunities in games. We were in winning positions and scored many goals but we gave it away sometimes by individual errors by different players,\u201d said United manager Ten Hag. \u201cWe have to do better. The facts are we don\u2019t have enough points so we are disappointed as a group.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should have done better. We didn\u2019t create many chances tonight but that also has to do with a very good opponent. We didn’t lose it today, that’s clear.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ten Hag\u2019s insistence that it was a \u201cvery good\u201d performance did not wash with from former United ace Scholes. \u201cI think it was a frightened performance more than anything. There was such a lack of goal threat,\u201d said Scholes on TNT Sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Bayern had another four or five gears to go through tonight and if they really fancied it, they could\u2019ve really gone for it and scored a few more goals. It’s a big concern where the goals are going to come from [for United].\u201d<\/p>\n

To add to their woes, United lost England defenders Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire, the Premier League Player of the Month for November, with a groin injury. Kingsley Coman\u2019s 71st-minute winner, set up by Harry Kane, brought victory at a stroll for the German champions, who had already qualified for the last 16.<\/p>\n
