Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov did not hold back when giving his opinion on the club's dissapointing Champions League campaign.
The club were drawn in a group which contained Bayern Munich, Galatsasary and FC Copenhagen, and it was a group which many expected United to at least finish second and qualify for the knockout stages.
However, after a run of bad performances the Red Devils finished bottom of the group and will not be playing European football for the rest of the season.
For a club with an esteemed history like United, there is an expectation from fans that they should be competing for top European honours, but after a poor showing in the group stage, Berbatov believes his former club deserved to be knocked out.
"They weren't good in the Champions League and they deserved to go out. Some people will be angry because, with all due respect to Copenhagen and Galatasaray, you shouldn't finish last in that group," Berbatov told Betfair.
"You need to be ready for Champions League football and not be last in your group. You will feel that embarrassment, sadness, disappointment and anger at yourself and teammates for finishing last.
"I don't think they were not ready for the Champions League, but if you lack qualities during games, then you'll suffer. It's embarrassing to finish below Copenhagen and Galatasaray.
"The team's performance against Bayern Munich wasn't good enough. What can you say as a player in that position?
"You just raise your hands, apologise that you weren't good enough and go back to the pitch. Football is like this - there is another season, there is another Champions League if you can qualify."
It does not get any easier for United as they travel to Anfield to face league leaders in Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday.
