Group Standings

Result scenarios for United:

The following scenarios can happen:

Tie Breaker rules

With a win against Bayern:

  • if Galatasaray and Coppenhagen draw United Finishes second and continues to the ro16.
  • with any other result United finishes 3rd and drops down to the Europa league, and the winner of the other match finishes 2nd.

With a draw against Bayern:

  • if Galatasaray and Coppenhagen draw then United finishes 4th, Coppenhagen 2nd, Galatasaray 3rd.
  • If Coppenhagen wins then United and Galatasaray are level on 5 points, but Galatasaray wins the Head 2 head with a win and a draw, United finishes 4th.
  • If Galatasaray wins then United and Coppenhagen are level on 5 points, but in this case, head 2 head is even at 1 win each, GD and the goals scored are equal as aggregate score is 4-4, so the next tie breaker is superior GD in all games, United is currently at -2, coppenhagen is at -1, but since it’s a draw for United and a loss for coppenhagen then at worst this also becomes a tie (Coppenhagen loses only by 1 goal, draw means United GD doesn’t change) or United finishes 3rd and goes to the EL (Coppenhagen loses by more than 1 goal). If the overall GD is equal, then the next tie breaker becomes Goals scored in all matches, here United leads 12 to 7, so United finishes 3rd unless some crazy 5-6, 6-7 score line happens in favor of Galatasaray.

With a loss against Bayern:

  • United are out of Europe

    4th place. Probably better to be totally out of Europe. The squad is thin as it is and I don’t think we’re in any shape to push for even the Europa League

    Didn’t watch the match as I had other stuff to do and I’m glad.

    Honestly I have no idea where we go from here. What i want is for ten Hag to stop playing this survival football. Please just play your style my man. We’re losing anyway, let’s lose while building something at least.

      Apart from the losses, this is the next thing I hate about us right now. Just play the damn kids using the style he wants to use.

    It’s for the best. On the footballing front, we can concentrate on Top 4 and less games for the players so they can get healthy.

    On the financial side, fuck the Glazers.

    I’m not getting my hopes up that we’ll continue. Just want to see a response from the team and a good performance.

      the way UCL is going for us we will win and then the other game will have a winner at 90+11’ from a bullshit handball penalty.

        You know what, I’d take that… A win, a clean sheat against Bahern

        … For this United team, that’s a big deal

    Might be about to see Varane-Evans at the back against Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Can’t even make this stuff up

      Evans coming on now One of the only highlights of this season has been Maguire making it back into the team but now we might not even have that going
