This makes it even more troublesome and I think for now don't make too high expectations because for Manchester United to qualify for the next phase in the Champions League is a very difficult mission and they must try to let go of it now and accept the results that this season they failed.
Manchester United won't be able to qualify, even though the possibility is small, they are not really ready to be in the UCL this season, they still have a lot to improve in their squad because in my opinion they should focus more on the EPL and improve their position so they don't get worse. in the domestic league, they can still have the opportunity to get another UCL ticket next season.
Of course they need more time to overhaul everything to make it better next season, I'm also not sure from the start they can qualify from the group because it looks like there are a lot of things they are not ready to face in the UCL this season, whatever it is, Manchester United still needs to learn a lot more. much more from every defeat they experience and improve it afterwards to become a better team.
