Manchester United were bundled out of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) at the group stage following a 1-0 loss to Bayern Munich at Old Trafford on Tuesday night.

Kingsley Coman scored the only goal of the match the Red Devils exited Europe at the group stage for the first time since 2005.

Erik ten Hag’s side needed to win to hold on to hope of securing a place in Europe but could not find a way through the Bavarians in Manchester.

Harry Kane would eventually contribute to Man United’s downfall as his pass released Coman and the Frenchman slotted in beyond Andre Onana.

The Cameroonian who was one of Man United’s big summer signings has conceded 15 UCL goals this season, the highest for any English club in the competition.

Defeat meant Man United finished with four points from six matches, the lowest points tally ever by the side in the competition.

Elsewhere, Victor Osimhen, newly-crowned CAF men’s African footballer of the Year, scored to wrap up victory for Napoli against Sporting Braga.

Real Madrid also triumphed in a five-goal classic against Union Berlin while Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw by PSV Eindhoven.

Copenhagen also defeated Galatasaray 1-0 to advance to the UCL knockout stages for the first time since 2010.
