Manchester United players and Erik ten Hag have been savaged by L’Equipe after their sorry Champions League exit.<\/p>\n
The French newspaper’s ratings can be notoriously harsh and\u00a0United averaged just 4.3 out of 10 after they\u00a0crashed out of Europe with a 1-0 defeat against Bayern Munich at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
Antony was ranked as the worst performer, earning a meagre 3 out of 10 mark, the same rating as ten Hag, whose team did ‘not resist or exist’ in their meek surrender on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Kingsley Coman scored the only goal of the game, condemning United to finish bottom of Group A after a fourth defeat in six group games.<\/p>\n
United’s four points from six games is their lowest ever tally in the Champions League and the 15 goals they have conceded is the most by a Premier League side in any group stage of the competition.<\/p>\n

L’Equipe rated Antony as the worst Manchester United player in their loss to Bayern<\/p>\n

Erik ten Hag received a 3 out of 10 mark like the Brazilian winger\u00a0<\/p>\n

Antony started brightly against Bayern but soon reverted to type and was ineffective throughout.<\/p>\n
The Brazilian has registered one assists and no goals in his last 29 appearances in all competitions for United and has seldom lived up to his \u00a390million price tag.<\/p>\n
Andre Onana, Raphael Varane and Diogo Dalot were United’s best performers on the night, earning a 5 out of 10 rating with everyone else receiving a 4 out of 10 rating – aside from Harry Maguire, who was forced off the pitch injured.<\/p>\n
Coman was voted the man of the match by L’Equipe, earning a 7 out of 10 rating after his match-winning contribution.<\/p>\n
Eight Bayern players were rated six out of 10, with the exception of Leroy Sane and Leon Goretzka, who received 3 out of 10 and 5 out of 10 respectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n
L’Equipe noted Bayern were a ‘step too high’ for Ten Hag’s team, suggesting the Champions League exit ‘darkens the picture a little more’ after the dismal 3-0 defeat at home against Bournemouth on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Only three Manchester United players received a 5 out of 10 rating by the French newspaper<\/p>\n

We didn’t deserve to lose, but we lost the game,’ he said.<\/p>\n ‘But also Bayern is a good team. Even when they are not in the game, they have individual class and just need one moment. Unfortunately that happened.<\/p>\n ‘We know we want to be more consistent. As manager I have to improve the team, I have to guide them and the players have to take the responsibility. We have to do that together.’<\/p>\n Asked how he looked back on a miserable Group A campaign, the United manager said: ‘Not with regret. We didn’t make it, but we have to accept it. We have to learn from it.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kingsley\u00a0Coman was voted the man of the match by L’Equipe, earning a 7 out of 10 rating after his match-winning contribution<\/p>\n ‘We played some good football in the Champions League. We have to take some good performances into the Premier League.\u00a0<\/p>\n We want to be back in the Champions League.<\/p>\n ‘We didn’t lose it today, that’s clear. We had good performances but also we made mistakes. In the end it was not good enough.<\/p>\n ‘The facts are we do not have enough points. We are disappointed as a group, as a manager, I am disappointed. We should have done better.’<\/p>\n
