Unfortunately, they were unable to secure a win, leading to their elimination in the last position in the group.
Following the letdown, according to the Daily Mail, the Dutch coach conveyed to the United players that the league remained a significant target.
He emphasized that the squad’s situation could swiftly improve if they dedicated themselves to it.
The elimination marked 15 consecutive years without securing the premier European club title for United.
Domestically, Ten Hag’s team faces challenges, currently occupying the seventh position in the Premier League, trailing Tottenham Hotspur by five points in fourth place.
In the six group-stage games of the Champions League, Manchester United conceded 15 goals, setting a record as the English club with the highest number of goals conceded in the competition’s group stages, according to Opta.
After securing a draw against bitter rivals Liverpool in their last outing, Ten Hag’s team aims to carry that confidence into their upcoming match against West Ham on Saturday, December 23.
