Louis van Gaal's men can't complain about their Champions League elimination as Wolfsburg and PSV made a mockery of the Red Devils' riches.
Money can't buy you happiness, the saying goes, but you can bet the Glazer family's bottom dollar that Manchester United expected billions of pounds to buy it a spot in the Champions League last 16.

Wolfsburg's exhilarating 3-2 victory had United on its knees at the Volkswagen Arena before PSV dealt the fatal blow with a 2-1 triumph at home to CSKA Moscow.
