(Football news) Manchester United lost to Bournemouth 3-0 at home in the Premier League, and Thomas Tuchel’s team unexpectedly lost to Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 on the road in the Bundesliga. Both teams were humiliated domestically over the weekend.

The interesting Champions League match on Tuesday takes place at Worst, and Manchester United needs a specific sequence of events to happen in order to sneak into second place behind Bayern, who have already been officially declared the group winners.

The FC Red Devils have been involved in plenty of high-scoring matches this season in the European Cup, and their trip to Galatasaray on November 29 was no exception. However, Erik ten Hag’s team suffered a catastrophic collapse, losing 2-0 and 3-1 leads to draw 3-3 with the Turkish giants.

Manchester United is now bottom of the group on four points and knows that a win on Tuesday is all that is necessary to extend their journey in Europe’s top tournament. A familiar sense of doom and gloom descended as Kerem Akturkoglu’s thunderbolt flew into the roof of the goal.

A stalemate in their match would be necessary for the Red Devils to overcome the odds, even if they manage to overcome Copenhagen and Galatasaray, who are both one point ahead. If not, they will be demoted to the Europa League or eliminated from continental football, which will significantly sour the festive atmosphere.

While Bournemouth was having a dream come true at the Theatre of Dreams last weekend, Man United was experiencing a brief winter wonderland as they defeated Chelsea 3-0 in the Premier League. Ten Hag’s team was left feeling as though they were “not good enough” to compete consistently at the highest level, as the Dutchman freely admitted.
