MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Out of the Champions League at the earliest possible stage, Manchester United’s return to European club soccer’s elite competition was not a happy one. A 1-0 defeat to Bayern Munich on Tuesday put Erik ten Hag’s team out of its misery as it finished bottom of Group A, having won just one of six games, ensuring it also missed out on the safety net of the Europa League. “This is the level we want to play, Champions League.
