We should stop expecting much from Mu at this point. I believe they deserve to be eliminated and give the chance to a more deserving team. The match between Galatasaray and Copenhagen seems like a real final for this group.
I agree with you, it's time to stop hoping for Man United. whatever the future scenario, what is clear is that it is very difficult, because their fate really depends on other matches, relying on the Copenhagen vs Galatasaray match. Even progressing to the Europa League is very difficult, I don't know what Ten Hag is doing at United at the moment.
I am very curious to what extent the club top officials will continue to maintain their position as head coach, or whether they will return to supporting Ten Hag by giving him a large budget next january, to continue building the club according to his standards and wishes. I think sooner or later, there will be a push from fans asking for Ten Hag to be fired.
With all due respect to Ten Hag and The Red Devils, Galatasaray or Copenhagen are more worthy of accompanying Bayern to advance to the round of 16. looking further ahead, it looks like The Red Devils will most likely miss out on appearing in the UCL, unless they manage to improve their performance and finish in the top four of the EPL standings when the season ends.
