Follow Mail Sport’s live blog as Chris Wheeler answers all your questions around Manchester United following their Champions League exit where they finished bottom of the group.\u00a0<\/p>\n
CHRIS WHEELER<\/b>: I don\u2019t think any Manchester United manager can spend \u00a3400m on new players, lose half of 24 games this season and finish bottom of a pretty average Champions League group without being concerned about his job. <\/p>\n
Ten Hag has been hit hard by injuries to key players this season but performances have been way below expectations. <\/p>\n
I think the delay over Sir Jim Ratcliffe\u2019s \u00a31.25billion investment, and state of flux that has created at the club, will help Ten Hag in the short-term. The current regime has no appetite to sack him and will happily pass the buck to Ratcliffe who could be months away from having any operational control. <\/p>\n
But once the INEOS team are in the building, I fear for Ten Hag. They have been watching this debacle of a season and are not coming in to sit on their hands. <\/p>\n
Unless there is a dramatic improvement in the second half of the season, he is in big trouble.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
CHRIS WHEELER<\/b>: Right up there! <\/p>\n
The fact it\u2019s only the second time United have finished bottom of their group, four points was the club\u2019s lowest-ever total, and 15 goals conceded is worse than any English team in Champions League history, tells its own story. <\/p>\n
I can\u2019t think of a worse campaign, and I\u2019ve seen them all. Bayern Munich are obviously a top side, but United should have qualified ahead of FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray, no doubt about it. <\/p>\n
Those late defeats to Galatasaray at Old Trafford and Copenhagen in Denmark really hurt. It\u2019s been a chaotic campaign with high-scoring ties and lots of goals. <\/p>\n
Just when United needed a big finale, they produced a really insipid display against Bayern last night. <\/p>\n
I take the point that you can\u2019t be too gung-ho against an attack of that quality, but to go out so tamely topped off a thoroughly miserable campaign.<\/p>\n

We will be starting the Q&A at midday!<\/p>\n
And so Manchester United, licking their wounds and still smarting from a humbling 3-0 defeat in the Premier League to Bournemouth, now have to prepare to travel to Anfield to take on arch-rivals – and league leaders – Liverpool.<\/p>\n
You couldn’t have picked a worse fixture for them this weekend.<\/p>\n

The Man United manager was asked if this season was already one to write off following a group stage Champions League exit, but Ten Hag disagreed.<\/p>\n
He said:<\/p>\n
A lot of the players have come in for criticism at United this season – Andre Onana and Antony chief among them – but former Liverpool defender-turned-pundit Jamie Carragher is pointing the finger of blame at Erik ten Hag after this embarrassing Champions League exit.<\/p>\n

A 1-0 defeat to Bayern Munich, who romped to top spot in Group A, is far from a disgrace, but it was a group stage campaign to forget.<\/p>\n
