“United just appear like a typical group, truly, and with a typical team you get average efficiencies”, stated former United midfielder Paul Scholes.

As you’ve probably heard by now, Manchester United’s 2015/16 Champions League campaign came to a dramatic end in Wolfsburg last night as Louis van Gaal’s limp mob failed to bring home the bacon in their final group stage fixture.
Manchester United manager Louis Van Gaal has blamed a “strange” offside call on Jesse Lingard’s goal for his side’s defeat at the hands of Wolfsburg. It is thought that Kane would cost United a whopping £50m but they seem to be willing to pay that much for one of the Premiere League’s standout players of this season and the last. “When we scored, they scored after two minutes again”, Van Gaal was quoted as saying by club’s official website on Tuesday. “Every word that I say is the wrong word”.
Waltzing to the Premier League title and 2-0 up in the first leg, United had Galatasaray on the back foot.
Higginbotham expects finishing third in their Champions League group and consequently dropping into the Europa League to have a negative impact on United’s spending next month.
Having scored just one goal in drawing their last three games, United needed just ten minutes to take the lead at Wolfsburg’s Volkswagen Arena.
“I think my chance was a big one to score, but their goalkeeper made a great save”.
The action really kicked off in the 82nd minute when a header by Fellaini was met by Guilavogui who knocked it into his own net to level the match at 2-2.
“When the group is tight, those kind of decisions can decide whether you go through or not”.
Frustrated fans at Old Trafford have taken to chanting “Attack, attack, attack!” in an effort to rouse their team, while there were calls for Van Gaal to be sacked on late-night radio phone-ins after Tuesday’s game.
Van Gaal now has nine players in the treatment room, but he can not use that as an excuse for flopping in Europe.
“We were not so lucky in a match today with the decisions of the referee, but also in the first match we were lucky with the decision of that referee”.
Top talent will no longer want to come to the Premier League if the only teams that can afford them can’t even make it out of the group stage of the Champions League.

Wolfsburg went in front with the game’s standout goal after 28 minutes when Portuguese Vieirinha put the finishing touch to an astonishing team move, orchestrated by Julian Draxler. Arsenal and Manchester City are always unsafe and if Manchester United incorporate some more creative play into their game plan, could become a threat in the near future.
