The pressure on Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag ramped up another notch on Tuesday night when his side lost to Bayern Munich and crashed out of the Champions League.<\/p>\n<p>United&#8217;s European campaign was so miserable that they failed to even drop into the Europa League, finishing bottom of Group A with just one win in six matches against Bayern, Galatasaray and Copenhagen.<\/p>\n<p>Kingsley Coman came up with the winner at Old Trafford on Tuesday night as Bayern prevailed 1-0. A strong Premier League finish and a possible FA Cup run is now all that United have left to fight for over the second part of the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>The league has hardly been a happy hunting ground for Ten Hag, with seven defeats in 16 matches and a negative goal difference leaving his side six points off the top four.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Paul Scholes and Erik ten Hag disagree over meek Man Utd after Bayern loss<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Erik-ten-Hag-Sir-Jim-Ratcliffe-5112757.jpg?r=1702458581365\"><\/p>\n<p>Naturally, calls to see the Dutchman axed are growing. But The Independent claim that Ten Hag retains the backing of the United board, and in any case, game-changing decisions will be put on ice until Sir Jim&#8217;s buy-in is announced.<\/p>\n<p>The petrochemicals billionaire is expected to become a minority owner with a degree of authority over sporting decisions at Old Trafford. With confirmation of his share purchase anticipated over the coming days, Ten Hag&#8217;s rocky run has come at the worst possible time.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Read more&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Arsenal move being wrecked by Tottenham as Edu now faces &#8216;\u00a334m transfer bill'[TRANSFERS] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Chelsea put three more stars on &#8216;striker shortlist&#8217; alongside Osimhen and Toney[GOSSIP] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Chelsea transfer loophole closed as Premier League rivals gang up on Todd Boehly[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Red Devils were smashed 3-0 at home to Bournemouth on Saturday, killing their momentum after a morale-boosting win over Chelsea.
