Solskjaer’s sloppy Man Utd back where they belong – in the Europa League

SMA NEWS – Champions League

Man Utd were dumped out of the Champions League after a poor display against Leipzig cost them a place in the knockout rounds, and sent them back to the Europa League.

One point was all Manchester United needed to reach the last 16 of the Champions League – one point from two games – and yet they just couldn’t manage it.

As Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had said, their destiny was in their own hands but the performance they produced in losing 3-2 at the Red Bull Arena on Tuesday night suggested that the Europa League is where his side was always meant to end up.
