David de Gea looked deflated as the long-serving goalkeeper reflected on 'another bad year' for Manchester United following the meek Champions League exit to Atletico Madrid.
The rudderless Red Devils will end a fifth-straight campaign without a trophy and face an uphill battle to return to European football's top table as a poor season hurtles towards a disappointing conclusion.
The Champions League offered hope, albeit faint, of a first trophy since lifting the Europa League in 2017, but wily Atletico extinguished those hopes.
Renan Lodi's first-half header secured a 1-0 win at Old Trafford and 2-1 aggregate triumph in the last-16 against a United side that have won just two knockout games in this competition since De Gea arrived from Atleti in 2011.
