Jamie Carragher rips into Erik ten Hag and accuses him of 'clutching at straws' - after the Man United boss insisted they 'didn't deserve to lose' as they were dumped out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich

Jamie Carragher believes that Erik ten Hag was 'clutching at straws' by defending Manchester United's display as they were knocked out of the Champions League.

The Reds Devils barely laid a glove on Bayern Munich on Tuesday night, despite requiring a win to stand any chance of progressing, and fell to a 1-0 loss.

United's limp display saw them fail to qualify for the Europa League as they finished bottom of a group that also included FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray.

Post-match, Ten Hag insisted his team played well - even after managing just one shot on target - and claimed they 'didn't deserve to lose.
