UCL Wolfsburg v Manchester United match thread

Flint Fredstone

Sure isn't it better to be in it and knocked out than not be in it at all

How the f**k did Young not get any playing time tonight whilst Lingard gets the full 90? Is there any rational reason for that? Not to mention the Mata/Powell substitution.

IITYWYBMAD

United not qualifying from that group is an embarrassment. Easiest group in the CL. I never thought I'd say these words, but Dunphy was right. LVG is a spoofer. A team of complete duds.

No. 300 million pounds spent on that team by LVG. It's a complete embarrassment to go out of that group.

Anyone else watch the european goals show on bt? Absolutely brilliant tonight, goals flying in everywhere.

Always a better watch when you have 0 interest in any of the games, much better than the BBC's FA cup version

Amazing how many people have abandoned their own team to support Wolfsburg, maybe they are Volkswagen drivers and the fumes are affecting them.

It's the taking part that counts!

I can assure that Volkswagen emission test results are among the best in the world in terms of clean energy etc. . .

Ask them yourself.

They put in a serious shift tonight. Fair play to them.
Working overtime in fact, even with the fumes

Young isn't a central midfielder, Powell is slightly more of a central midfielder. Mata was playing through the middle.

Is Young a superstar now actually? When did this happen?

Mata should have stayed on IMO

Thought his link up play with martial was good all night

Add your reply here.

Utd aren't good enough for the Europa cup and maybe they should try their best to compete & win it as it might be their only way to qualify for the champs league next year. Stop talking crazy.

Talking crazy. Ok so what 3 teams will finish ahead of united in the league ? Also United are not good enough for the Europa but they qualified for the Champions League ? What kind of crazy talk is that ? :pac: that competition should be for teams who value it, the likes of Liverpool Crystal Palace etc.... Also I don't believe that teams who fail to get out of their CL group should be dumped in on top of other teams and be inconvenienced with Thursday Sunday football.

Two goals in one game for United? That's a great achievement by them to be fair.

Aye, not quite on a par with your club legend helping piss away winning the league for the first time in more than 20 years but enjoyable Im sure none the less.

klose

Taking mata off for powell is one of the oddest subs ive ever seen given the circumstances.

The Golden Miller

Hilarious watching United get knocked out. What made it even sweeter is that 3 times during the game they were put into 2nd and were pegged back two minutes later on each occasion. Just enough time for United fans to gain hope and have it robbed straight back off them. Brilliant stuff to watch. Can't say they will be missed.

the guy that hates one particular team more than he supports his "own" saying this.

Well, De Gea is amazing! but we already knew that dodgy as all hell at the back, dont think Ive seen united defend worse from set pieces in my life. Completely limp up front too which I just dont really understand.
It really shows the premier league up with all these terrible performances in europe. Its not far off to say there is something fundamentally wrong with the football being played there atm

Trust me, it's not only Liverpool fans pissing themselves with laughter at Uniteds dismal and hilarious exit. I particularly loved the bit where PSV equalised and you could hear the groans from the United end

Did I say Young was a central midfielder? He's no superstar, but he's better than Lingard and Memphis.

Dortmund are light-years ahead of United anyway, as was clearly evident tonight. No shame in losing to Dortmund.

Definitely agree here. Young should have definitely played. He's above Depay.

Better to be there, give it your all, have that chance and enjoy great European nights then the likes of Liverpool fans who know they didn't get there. Won't be there next season so will just have to get your kicks on United not qualifying. Liverpool will get 6th maybe. Bringing up the rear when it comes to class though, consistently

This is the crux of it. Even if Utd had progressed tonight, I can't see what they would have added to the tournament that Wolfsburg wouldn't have, apart from some desperate defending. What do you expect when your manager says you can't even win the competition.

Just point at the part of this stickman where Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United touched you:
