Harsh truths.
Manchester United fans will have to clear their Thursday night schedules in 2016 after the side were dumped out of the Champions League following a 3-2 defeat to Wolfsburg in Germany.
While it's not the first time that United have failed to progress past the group stages in the Champions League, many supporters have felt that this campaign was way below standards, especially considering that expenditure during the Van Gaal era has been in the region of £250m and above.
