    Right, it's time for me to lie down in a darkened room.

    But you've not got long to wait for more Champions League drama. Join us tomorrow to see what Arsenal and Chelsea serve up.

    Until then... thanks for your company. Night!

    BBC Radio 5 Live

    Times football correspondent Henry Winter: "There will be a few headlines linking Carlo Ancelotti’s name with Manchester United over the next few days I think. He’s given a series of interviews, in some of which he's talking kindly about United. 

    "And as I speak several of the United fans are having their photos taken with Sir Alex Ferguson here, with one of the Glazers skulking in the background. They have to look at their role in this too. They have invested but this is a squad that still needs more."

    Here's some news for supporters of Liverpool FC...

    "Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge will be out for several weeks after suffering a hamstring injury during Sunday's defeat at Newcastle.

    "He felt a problem after coming on as a second-half substitute at St James' Park and a scan showed a strain.

    "It is the latest in a long line of injury absences for the 26-year-old, who had just returned to action after knee and foot problems.

    "Sturridge has made six appearances so far this season, scoring four goals."

  4. 'Decisions went against us - LvG'published at 22:31

    Wolfsburg 3-2 Man Utd

    More from Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal in his post-match news conference: "The result is difficult to understand. I am happy we have scored and not happy we have two times in two minutes given the goal away. I have to analyse why that is happening. Normally we are very good in that aspect.

    "I have said in advance that this is a tight group and you see that in the results that we have made - and also our competitors.

    "I have to say that we were not so lucky in a match today, with the decision of the referee, and also in the first match too. When the group is tight that kind of decision can decide whether you go through or not."

    John Hartson
    Former Arsenal striker on BBC Radio 5 live

    "If the Glazers, Manchester United’s owners, want to carry on spending and continue to back Louis van Gaal then they must have money to burn, because Van Gaal will only make a hash of it. I really don’t think they have made progress since David Moyes. I would change it now - his recruitment has been poor.

    "I don’t speak to Ryan Giggs that regularly, but clearly he will not be happy with the way they are playing. I just wonder how much of an influence he is actually allowed to have – whether he just puts the cone out in training. I wonder if Van Gaal does say from time to time: ‘You know what? You give the team talk, because you are the next manager of Manchester United."

    Times football correspondent Henry Winter: "There have been a lot of Manchester United fans calling for Louis van Gaal to go, but he will continue to be backed by the club.

    "Van Gaal is the type of man who looks in a mirror and winks. He admires himself, he admires his CV, and yes he has won major titles across Europe - but the important thing is United still see him as having work to do.

    "They will go again, spend more in January and they'll spend more next summer as well."

    We've just retraced our steps from earlier. In just three games, there were seven goals in eight minutes. Scenes.

  14. 'United's elimination self-inflicted'published at 22:17

    Wolfsburg 3-2 Man Utd

    Times football correspondent Henry Winter: “That was very bad. The previous times Manchester United went out of the Champions League at the group stage it was against teams like Barcelona in 1994, with players like Romario in their side. 

    "When this draw was made United were rightly confident of going through, but it’s Manchester City who have finished top of a far tougher group, and United go into the Europa League.

    "It’s self-inflicted. They should have beaten PSV in their previous game, and they defended poorly here."

    And ex-Reds striker Michael Owen told BT Sport: "This is a worse squad now. The players Louis van Gaal has let go in the last 18 months would beat tonight's team: Rafael, Evans, Evra, Nani, Kagawa, RVP, Nani, Chicarito, Januzaj, Welbeck. Smalling and Carrick would get in."

    Here's what ex-Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand had to say on BT Sport: "It is embarrassing. You don’t want to come out of the house. People are questioning you. If you strip it back this squad needs a hard look. There is no pace or power. People are looking around at each other rather than saying I will drag you through."

    Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini:"It is difficult for us. We are disappointed. We should win against PSV at home. We created a lot of chances. We should win. They scored three goals from set pieces. We should defend better.

    "We are not lucky tonight. In the last 10 minutes we played with 10 men (because Smalling was injured). It was more difficult. We have to forget this disappointment quickly. We have to recover quickly and focus on the next game."

    Louis van Gaal is currently talking to BT Sport. He looks furious - like a bulldog chewing a wasp. I'd hate to sit next to him on the plane home. Best to pretend you're asleep in that situation.

    He said the match was "crazy" and the group was "tight". It's fair to say LvG was not happy with the decision to disallow a goal from Jesse Lingard at the end of the first half for offside.
