JAKARTA - Manchester United finally failed completely in the Champions League. In the last match of Group A at Old Trafford Stadium, Wednesday, December 13 in the morning WIB, MU gave up losing 1-0 against Bayern Munich. MU also failed to go to the Europa League.

Bad impetus MU. Never mind the last 16 of the Champions League, just to qualify for the Europa League, MU can't afford it.

Yes, the Red Devils must end the season in the Champions League by occupying the basis of Group A standings. The hope of competing in the second caste has disappeared.

They were only able to collect four points and conceded up to 15 goals. Bad record for goalkeeper Andre Onana for being United was the first England team to concede 15 goals during the group stage in Champions League history.

Bayern, who have qualified and no longer insist on winning, are still difficult to beat by MU. The German Bundesliga champion recorded the winning league from six preliminary matches.

Harry Kane et al ended the round by pocketing 16 points. Bayern himself has already confirmed qualifying and becoming group winners before the preliminary round ends.

Followed by Copenhagen which beat Gaatasaray 1-0. This Danish club qualified to accompany Bayern after being in second place with eight points.

The escape of Copenhagen was a surprise because in that group, MU and Galatasaray were more favored with Bayern. Meanwhile, Galatasaray qualified for the Europa League after being ranked third. The Turkish club itself pocketed the five points after

MU, ironically, not only failed in European competition but also lost two best defenders, Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw, who were injured. As a result, they were withdrawn.

Repotnya, MU akan melakukan laga besar dan krusial melawan Liverpool di Anfield, Minggu, 17 Desember malam WIB. Duo bek itu terancam tak bila tidak pulih dan menjadikan kekuatan MU makin lebilat.

In that duel, MU, who has lost many pillar players such as Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, to centre-back Leandro Martinez, could only field a squad that manager Erik ten Hag said was already the best.

Striker Rasmus Hojlund is the first choice as the spearhead. Only Marcus Rashford could no longer show his best performance and was no longer in the starting line up.

Ten Hag fielded Antony, Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho to support Hojlund. Even though it is already the best, MU still has difficulty dealing with Bayern.

In that match, Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel fielded the best squad. Kane, the former Tottenhm Hotspur star who was once the target of Manchester United, remains a starter on the front lines.

No wonder MU was unable to penetrate Bayern's solid defense. This makes Hojlund unable to do anything. Moreover, Bayern is superior in possession of the ball.

Bayern himself outperformed MU after Kingsley Coman scored a goal in the 70th minute. Coman successfully completed Kane's assist which made Bayern lead 1-0.

The score apparently lasted until the end because no more goals were created. Bayern became the second team after Galatasaray who beat Manchester United at Old Trafford during the group stage.

For MU, this is the second successive defeat in various competitions.

Previously, in the English Premier League, they were killed by Bournemouth 3-0. An embarrassing defeat to kaTENa occurred at United's home

MU is in danger of scoring a hat trick of defeat as in the next match against Liverpool in The Northwest Derby at Anfield.
